Amazing how small the old church look in front of all the skyskrapers. I am getting dizzy on the thought of leaning out of a window on the 88th floor... -Gerald

Thanks Olaf and Troy. I shot this from the 88th floor of Melbourne's newest and tallest building.

It was shot through dirty glass but it is haze caused by pollution type 'smog' which goes to show what we must breathe every day.

I think also, clarity suffers from the internal reflection of the back-lit room. I tried to reduce the glare by taking off the lens hood and holding the lens onto the glass.

One really needs a rubber hood that can be pressed onto the glass. Better still, hang out of a window... but unfortunately 'THEY' take a dim view of that behaviour and keep them locked?

Regards Bob

Now, IMO this does show the "Lay Of The Land".

Interesting point of view! The sky looks kind of dirty - is it from pollution?
