High rise

This vertiginous image was taken from the top of the CN Tower, Toronto, during an early evening visit. Conditions were quite tricky: shooting through glass, interior light reflections and a rotating floor. I ended up placing the camera on a mini-tripod on the inside window ledge with the shutter open for about 20 seconds before retrieving the gear once we and the floor had revolved a few degrees. Distortion correction and levelling didn’t leave much room for cropping and I would have preferred a squarer finish; however, I was pleased with the colours, lighting and level of detail. Thanks for viewing.
