Don't believe Steve, it's pure metal, there is no glass, he's hanging there on a bungee rope ;-))) ~ Armin

Great eye on catching this shot Steve - I'm not sure I could have held the cam steady with that view!!! jano

That's one wicked shot and wicked point of view! I think your including your feet in the image, makes it all that more fun and, gives the entire image / viewer perspective.
Great going! Markjay

Thanks again for the comments.

Britt, glad you liked the gallery, Hopefully I will get around to processing them properly, these were all done in a batch quickly.

I also like 71, but I can't claim it was through glass, but I am sure you will see it in a future exhibition gallery.

Steve.

Nice. Geometry underlines the sense of height

Sure..it makes me dizzy! Nice shot, great effect.

Great gallery. I like 0071 also for this challenge. What a great place! You have some great shots. I encourage everyone to go look at them. Very nice!

Firstly apologies for the socks! ;-) This is a new tower that only opened 3 days ago on the south coast of the UK. It was originally called the millenium tower, but due to the extensive delays and rising costs it didn't quite make the millenium!

The lengths we all go to do get photos for these challenges, walking out onto that glass floor was pretty scary! But I knew I would get some great shots for this challenge, so I guess puuting my fears aside was necessary. We had gale force winds yesterday and you could feel the tower moving!

For anyone who is interested, the full gallery of my as yet unprocessed shots can be seen herehttp://www.pbase.com/photodreams/spinnaker So many shots I could have picked for this challenge.

Thanks for the comments - Steve

Holy Moly this gives me the willies

Is this portsmouth NH? That's not too far from home, but I doubt you'll catch me on that thing....or maybe you might...

If indeed there is a glass floor, I think it would be neat to have items on the floor seemingly levitating above it all....

That's really very good Steve, no sign of the glass yet you must be standing on glass as Britt said. Well done I like it:-)

Tse, not enough money for shoes, but for a new toy...guess, he'e only here to make us jealous ;-)) ~ Armin

Ack...I about threw up when I saw this! And it wasn't the socks. Were you standing on glass? Holy moly, you couldn't drag me by my hair! Wow...nice one! ~Britt

Nice socks ;-)
...and the view sweeps you off your feet ~ Armin
