View From The Top Of The World
written by John Chow on April 15th, 2007
Here are a few pictures from the top observation deck of the CN Tower. As I explained in my last post, the top deck of the CN Tower has a very low ceiling – if I jump I would bump my head on it. At 1,500 feet, the CN Tower observation deck is the highest in the world – if the tower was a normal building, the observation deck would be on floor 147.
The view down isn’t much better than at the main observation deck. The main difference is the nearby buildings looks even smaller. What’s really cool is not looking down but looking out. At this height, you can see the curvature of the Earth. here’s a few more photos.

I swear to god, the only time John doesn’t look evil is when he’s holding Sally. No seriously…I mean, if he was holding a baby panda…
Still a little bit evil looking.
That’a a hell of a view. Simple superb!
I am just sitting here at my computer and those views make me dizzy!
Great pictures. Um…just wondering, if you changed your hair height, would you fit in the room better? 
Nice shots, no vertigo this time!
not for those with fear of heights eh
Wow, that’s pretty high up there!
I’d be pissing my pants.
How lovely for the people below!

that depends on the material of the pants
I get almost sick just looking at those pics, I hate heights! One of my biggest fears.
Oh, and the ceiling seems a bit low… yeah, because you are pretty tall! How tall are you BTW?
Ah yes the CN Tower. I have been up to the top also. The view is truely amazing!
Strange though, I don’t remember the ceiling being so low, I guess I was only 17 but still.
The world is only getting smaller and smaller, isn’t it? With, what, technology, hormones, frequent-flyer miles…I’m surprised we could all still fit in it!
I love observation decks. This post has inspired me to go up another one as soon as possible.
Beautiful baby!
Awesome views! I’d pass on the glass floor one though.
Honestly I am afraid of heights
and that view is making my head revolve even when watching it from the computer
I wonder how John overcomes the fear of heights [i.e. if he has any
]
John is fearless, evil, and so good at what he does…looks like the altitude doesn’t bother Sally one bit either!
Quality! I’d love to go there.
To be honest guys, for me when I was up the Eiffel Tower, it was looking up that made me feel wierd. Looking down isn’t an issue – for me at least.
Was the guy on the elevator taking you up a Chinese boy with long hair? If so that’s my brother
Does he have a blog? I bet he’d have some interesting stories.

I think I could conquer my fear of heights when I’m faced with such breathtaking views like the ones John took.
I’d recommend the Grand Canyon for that. Worked for me.
Oh, most definitely, James — both Niagara and the Grand Canyon are on my to-do list now.
what kind of camera are you using john?
Nice shot of the city. You can see my house, well apartment!
hope your enjoying your stay here in Toronto

I bet he took pics of you from up there.
oh man, that glass floor….
Nice photos John.
I love your site. Am I crazy? I know almost nothing, but just for fun and money I’ve challenged myself to make a million dollars in one year blogging. I’ll be tracking everything I learn, and my success at Blogger-Rising. Thank you for your great blog.

That view is amazing!
The elevator ride is fast!!
That would scare me more than the heights…which is funny considering I like going fast horizontally.
Wow, the view’s really amazing!
Those views are fantastic!
What an amazing View!
