Walking on the Edge

I am 1,168 feet above the ground and on a thin metal walkway around CN's Tower's upper platform. It's a beautiful sunset in Toronto, and I can see for miles around in all directions. I am doing the highly recommended EdgeWalk with my wife.

I can see the nearby Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport; the Blue Jays play the Red Sox in the Ricoh Coliseum below. The first steps onto the ledge are scary. I am the first guinea pig in our group of five.




The Ricoh Coliseum is empty in this photo, but it was full during my walk. I saw the baseball game quite clearly, which was strange from such a height.


Inna followed me out on the ledge. Initially, She was hesitant, but she overcame her fear of extreme heights. We got to do many exciting poses, such as leaning back and the one from Titanic. It's scary to bend forward at this height!



After walking around the tower several times, we posed for a few family photos. We had a great time on our walk, an experience we will never forget.


Here is a short video of my excursion:

 
 
As the evening turned dark, Toronto looked all lit up.
