Hong Kong Vertigo

It was my second work adventure to Hong Kong this last summer. On my

last day in the heart of the Island, I had to get up to the roof of

the 60 story building where I was working, and take pictures at sunset.

 

I lured my acrophobic boss up to the roof with me, who watched in

terror, witnessing my energetic shift from the safe vantage point

along the railing, to the exposed perch that I knew would give me the

most direct view down.

 

Laying flat, with my legs twined around a pole for balance, I

stretched as far over the edge as possible for a unique view of Wan

Chai District below.

 

I sensed the stop light freeze the rush hour traffic, that was dotted

with the familiar white topped red taxis. I rolled off images till I

heard my boss quickly exhale the words, �Let�s get off the roof�.

Impressive!! Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes.

Excellent shot of an busy city. The non-stop motion of HK was frozen for us to enjoy. Excellent exposure and creative composition. I wonder how it would look if the traffic was blurred out a bit. Thanks for sharing. Regards.

This caught my eye for its unique perspective. Your story explains why we don't seem more photos like it!
