A complete aside, but the photography of Jimmy Chin is amazing, and the top photo in this article is no exception. His technical skills, both with his camera and his outdoorsmanship, lead to some of the most remarkable and unique images that have ever been captured. And I&#x27;ve lost count of the number of times I&#x27;ve seen a picture that I thought was fabulous only to discover that it was he who took it.<p>Anyone who&#x27;s interested in photography or enthralled by nature and action sports should take a web journey through his images. He&#x27;ll take you around the world and to places you could never visit yourself.

“Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots down there stopped moving forever?”<p>It&#x27;s the ultimate expression of looking down on the little people.

I love this picture, of the very top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (currently the world&#x27;s tallest structure!): <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;YpANIiK.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;YpANIiK.jpg</a><p>No, not Tom Cruise. <i>The graffiti!</i>

This article references the project I have been working on for the last few years. 10 Hudson Yards. AMA<p>Proof: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;BGetG8olfPJ&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;p&#x2F;BGetG8olfPJ&#x2F;</a>

Guess I am fortunate to be terrified of heights, no chance of any jealousy or envy on my part.<p>I do have to ask with regards to that 453 sq ft apartment, whats the point of having a window that opens at its height?<p>on a side note, the gated communities of suburbia are nothing but shallow imitations of the these vertical communities which are even more exclusive
