hehe, I remember what it was like up there...we went to the CN Tower so many times when I was a kid that I don't bother anymore.

But that glass floor still freaks the HELL out of me. bah.

Yes. I'm not really afraid of heights, but standing on that floor sent an odd sensation through my body.

What equipment did you shoot that with?
Canon A40, and a steady hand.

Dude I would so freak out on the glass floor. I'm not scared of hieghts, it's the movement of the building that scares me.

That glass floor is freaky. I would wear a parachute, but only because I'm huge and would pop the panel out.

agreed. I'd be curious to google why that thing was ever built though.... seems a little overkill for just an observation deck...

It's a big antenna. Which is almost laughable because usually they stick antennas on top of skyscrapers to inflate their heights. Toronto just decided to dispense with the skyscraper part altogether.

I went my freshmen year of junior high. It took me a little bit to get on the glass floor, but after that it was fun. My friends and I started jumping on it and scaring the rest of the people that were on and near it.

dude, i just went two weeks ago. and no i didn't stand on that glass floor. i'm a little bi-atch when it comes to height.


how in the world did you take good pictures from the observation deck when the glare from the glass would have included your reflection?

and can somebody answer me why the sun sets at 9:30 - 10pm up in toronto?

also, what hotel did you stay at?

The glass floor is the funniest thing. People put their toes on it like they are testing pool water.
