The tower stood majestic br against the evening sky. br The idea was to go up to the top br and take some photos of the views br that stretched over Calgary. br The plan was OK; br however, the tower had a platform br with a glass floor you could stand on br and look over 500 feet down at the street below. br Everyone said take a picture over there. br Like the fool I am I looked down br and grabbed the nearest post with white knuckles br as I stepped out on the glass. br I moved slowly forwards, br completely mortified. br Looking down I snapped the photo br of my feet on the glass and the street below. br I got off quicker than I got on, br my knees knocking, heart thumping. br It was so disconcerting br just standing on glass and looking down. br It took me a half an hour to gather my composure. br Now ask me if I would do it again br after the initial shock has left my mind.
