May 6, 2005 Yeah this makes me dizzy too !

This was taken about 80 feet in the air.
I was standing in the left side of a 125 foot "cherry picker".

This was the topping out ceremony for out new hospital.
The CEO and I were ceremoniously lifted up there to punch the button that started a confetti cannon that blasted out about 100 lbs. of colorful paper shreds.

I found out the operator had been up almost all night. I was at least comforted knowing that his presence in the basket with us motivated him to get us all down safely!

nice use of the fisheye lens, great perspective from this angle.
