A bit of a foggy morning this morning. Shot from one of the towers as I was picking my daughter up today

@SeaFury yeh, they get great views from up there. Still freaks me out a little at times, even though I don't get vertigo

@sortius @SeaFury I lived in a resi college at uni, it had 9 floors. I lived on the 4th floor, and could never visit friends higher than 6.
Terrible vertigo.
Skyscrapers? Uh nope!

@caity @SeaFury hehehe, there's 4 public housing towers with 20 floors each across the road. People get used to it, but the walkways have big windows right at head height, so they must have to just stare at the wall as they walk

@SeaFury @caity it's why I live in the city 😄

@sortius @SeaFury Love the theory. Love that they exist. Could not live above the 4th floor.

@caity @SeaFury yeh, my mum was the same way. She lives on the 3rd floor, and she struggles with that. I still remember her being trapped half way up Angkor Wat, or in our hotel room in Pattaya, or my numb legs when we'd fly on the Twin Otter between Newcastle and Sydney. She suffers deeply from vertigo/fear of heights.

Kind of glad I was never offered a tower apartment, or she'd never be able to visit

@sortius @SeaFury My younger sister had no fear of heights, and lived up a tree as part of a protest (to stop old growth forest from being logged) and much later on Mum and I went looking at aged care rooms and Mum was saying "not that one, Caity, I can't do 6th floor..." which was a relief for me!

@sortius I'd like that! I'm a bit claustrophobic - I don't like crowds or enclosed spaces (lifts are okay) but I'd need stair access as well so I didn't feel trapped if the electricity went out. 🤷‍♀️ @caity @SeaFury
