Playground in the sky

Every city is the same, eyes to the ground watch the pavement. Rush to work, rush home, rush rush rush. Avoid eye contact, eyes to the ground. Avoid the homeless man to, don't look at him, just look down he could be dangerous. Become one with the tessellating pavement grasshopper.



Or look up. Yes you, look up! No vaguely looking towards the buildings in the distance. How can you see details there you aren't superman. Crane that neck back and gawk like a tourist. Throw your head back like a cheesy pornstar. Come on, you're in a porn movie make it dramatic! That's the hard part over, now you're at least gazing in the right direction. What are you looking for though? Good question!



We're not going through this exercise so you can simply gawk like a tourist. This is about access, access to the jungle gym in the sky. There's some graffiti there so you can get up to it somehow. The writers did. That drain pipe looks pretty sturdy and that's a very wide window ledge to the left of it. Perhaps those rusty old firestairs lead somewhere. If you could just reach the ladder from the alleyway. Grab a dumpster, drag it over. Maybe now you can, the process is half the fun.



Entry to the rooftop playground is free, if you look up enough to even know it's there.

wow! great shots!

i'm slowly pushing myself to get higher each time. A year ago i was scared like shit just standing on the kitchen table =), last saturday i climbed a atomic bunker of almost 3 floors high (just by ladder on the outside).

But this is still way to high for me!

Good on ya, facing and overcoming your fears is the way forward. Give it a year and you'll be the next spiderman ;)
