Let’s stay in Toronto for my second post. If you have the time, of COURSE you go to see the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the western hemisphere. 1,815 feet. Just 20 feet taller than One World Trade Center. I had the time, so I went.
That’s a long way up.
This was my goal. (My goal was NOT to be where those people are on the edge of the building):
Looking up at the main level of Toronto’s CN Tower
The elevator is pretty fast. I don’t remember the exact amount of time it took, but you at least get a view.
Heading up on the CN Tower Elevator
Once at the top, the views are… stunning is such an understatement.
Looking out from the “lower” level of the CN Tower
You could spend all day just walking around for all the view.
Sunset from the CN Tower
Obviously, people do.
A couple enjoying the view.
But wait… the main level isn’t the end. You can pay a little bit more and go to the upper level and look down at the main level.
Don’t look down!
Yeah… that view through a window is not for the height-sensitive. Pay a little more and you can do the daredevil thing. Nope… I did NOT do that. That’s a bit too far for me. Well.. and a bit too expensive.
Daredevils on the CN Tower
This is probably more comfortable for those not too sure of heights:

Another view… from the upper level:
Just after sunset from the CN Tower
Coming back down from the top, I had to get a shot just after sunset:
The CN Tower all lit up.
The pov you took on some is very good, and lovely colors.
Thanks! I wonder how far away I would have to be to get the whole tower in the picture. I’d bet a mile or two away.
Great perspectives and I loved the elevator zoom. But man, I got a little verklempt with those shots from the top – I realized that, in my old age, I may be just on the verge of “height sensitivity”. Not gonna find out anytime soon!
If I were 20 years younger, I might consider that daredevil activity. But as it is, I was shaking my head when kids would jump up and down on the glass floor. “It’s all fun and games until a window breaks.” lol
This is a very nice post and the view from atop gorgeous. I am glad you took us up there, because on my own, with my own two feet, I would be hesistant to get close to the “edge”. 😊
As long as there’s a good wall or railing, I’m ok. But without those… I even get a little weary when I see pictures of those people up on scaffolding or radio towers. I might be able to climb up… it’s the coming down that might be difficult.
Exactly – a full body harness clipped in to multiple safety points might alleviate some concern, too!
