Dizzying

I thought I’d go back in time a bit to end this gallery for now.

Many people have commented on how dizzying it must have been up there, and while I didn’t think so at the time because I was too busy trying to take pictures, looking now at this image, maybe I was just ignoring it!

Thanks for all the kind comments and votes! Riyadh isn’t the most beautiful city I’ve ever seen, but it does have some striking architecture, and I think the views from this tower give the cityscape an entirely new look.

Nice work. I'm dizzy just looking at how high you are...

The images probably look more dizzying than it felt because it isn't as clear in the images what is a reflection and what isn't. Nice seeing you in characteristic pose. V
