I remember standing on top of the Empire State at night. Just tiny twinkly lights on the ground. Thats only a little building now.

I did :lol: Well as far as Joe Public can go.

This is the view you get, but that's only the 124th floor I think, There is still a hell of lot above you :shock:

Thats a nice view!

Doesnt look as high looking down from above as it does looking up from the bottom though!
It kind of just disappears into the sky. Also it doesnt really take much dust to make the top disappear!

I think that's only about two thirds the way up. It is a long way down from the top!!

Crazy fools :S
