The towers feature a skybridge between the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world.
It is not attached to the main structure, but is instead designed to slide in and out of the towers to prevent it from breaking during high winds. The bridge is 170 m (558 ft) above the ground and 58 m (190 ft) long, weighing 750 tons.The same floor is also known as the podium, since visitors desiring to go to higher levels have to change elevators here.
The skybridge is open to all visitors, but free passes (limited to 1700 people per day) must be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis.Visitors are only allowed on the 41st floor as the 42nd floor can only be used by the tenants of the building.

Some travel magazine (National Geograpic Traveler?) listed this as the #1 NPS lodge. Haven't been to them all, but of what I've seen, I'd agree. Photo by Walter Reed

This now restaurant has an interesting history: it used to be the kitchen of the monastery of the cathedral in Tortosa. It is near the refectory and the cloister. The huge vaults are intact and the building has been used as a bakery for a long time, I believe.

Das Restaurant hat eine interessante Vorgeschichte: es war die Klosterküche der Katedrale im Mittelalter. Das Refektorium und der Kreuzgang sind nebenan. Die riesigen Gewölbe sind alle erhalten. Eine zeitlang wurde das Gebäude als Bäckerei benutzt.
Old Sturbridge Village is an outdoor museum re-creating an 1830's New England farming village. The various buildings were brought to this site from different New England locations, although a few were built on site.
The center of the prison is by far the most fantastic part about the prison. The fisheye treatment really brings the whole experience into one shot. The inner portion of the wheel/spoke prison design has been featured in films and is a spectacular room that branches off into the various corridors of cells much like Eastern State. Helms Prison was built in 1896 and closed in 1995 after several riots in the 1970s and a reputation for prison abuse and unethical pharmaceutical and biochemical weapons research on prisoners. It was reopened recently to house weekend prisoners and is used for police training.
Calton Hill and it's views are an irresistible draw.

The excessive use of the fisheye lense, and of course the HDR techniques that I quite frequently use can appear to be overused if not kept in check. Of course, all of that is thrown out the window when I stumble across a scene like this. I love the somewhat "Gotham City" feel. Its like it was designed with the fisheye lense in mind.
So, yesterday afternoon after loadin, we had a few hours to trek about the city of Boston looking for subjects. A rock band we are not, but Allan sure is sportin' the Bono look! Check out Steve post here...
