Shots from high residential balconies

Here a shot from Londrina. Probably between floor 20-30:

There are balconies in the city on the 40th floor, so I guess there's no limitation for that.

I have a good friend who lives in a small tower in La Defense, floor 20-something. Whenever I visited him, standing in the balcony was a bit sickening. Not in physical sense, but in a psychological sense - there seems to be a strong mysterious force that pushes me towards the edge and down. Probably the morbid fascination for forbidden gestures. Looking down makes me dizzy not because of a somatic reason but because of mentally experiencing the fall.
I guess it depends on the height of the barrier. Ideally it comes around the height of my plexus and then I feel perfectly for for either me other the other people around.

I think all people have that. Personally I love high places.

Yeah. It's just very strong, in me; I feel like if I lived in such a place, at some point I wouldn't resist it. I guess trying some sort of flight/dive would cure it forever. I'm thinking of parachute dive, bungee jumping or (I'd love that) wingsuit flying.

Just a few from my own balcony, 22th floor:

here are some shots from my balcony in cologne, germany (37th floor). living that high up felt a bit strange at first, but you get used to the height pretty fast.

Somewhere in NYC, not my apartment unfortunately :lol:
