The Air Up There

being a climber, i think i'm naturally attracted to high places. it's quite funny because when i was a young boy, i remember being afraid of heights. it's only after i experienced what it's like to be suspended in midair, my life dangling on nothing but multiple strands of nylon, but raised beyond all obstruction to behold a magnificent landscape painted by a dazzling sunrise, i was hooked. there is a great web of energy in the high places of the world. people who have been touched by it just can't get enough of it. in the city, though, the only place you can get altitude is up on the roof.

my girlfriend lives in a high-rise condo in the central business district and i had always wondered what the view was on the roof of her building. this morning, i went up there with my camera and i am now, without a doubt, hooked.
