Toronto's CN Tower
Tuesday, October 13, 2015
When you're in Toronto, look up. Look way up. It's kind of hard to miss what used to be the world's tallest tower. Regardless of how many times I see it, I can't help but admire the CN Tower every time I am in the downtown area. But I don't always look at it closely enough. While on our way to the Toronto FC soccer game last month. I snapped a photo of the CN Tower since it was such a beautiful day with gorgeous blue skies. It wasn't until I downloaded the photos onto my computer that I noticed something I hadn't before.
Do you see them? A group of brave souls leaning off the edge as part of the CN Tower Edge Walk. It looks pretty scary but I hope to try it one day. In the meantime, I will just enjoy the views from afar, thank you very much. I leave you with a view of the Toronto cityscape taken from the BMO Field.
Here is this week's Wordless Wednesday linky:

There's something about the CN Tower... I'm always staring at it in awe.

Thanks, Patrick! It's definitely worth the visit.
DeleteI could never. ever. never. do the tower walk! #fearofheights
ReplyDeleteI have a fear of heights as well but I'm determined to show Fear who's the boss. One day.
DeleteI've never seen the CN Tower in person and there is NO WAY I could ever do that tower walk! Omgosh, I'd be a puddle of mush lol

LOL I think I could do it, just not so sure about leaning backwards over the edge...
DeleteThat would be a really cool place to look out from.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine so!
DeleteI was up in the CN tower with my girls about 13 years ago. Now we live in Auckland New Zealand which boasts the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, which I don't think is even half as tall as the CN tower. The funny thing is that I always thought of our Skytower as a squaty CN Tower, but looking at it now, they look nothing alike. You can walk on our tower too.
ReplyDeleteLOL A tower is a tower is a tower. But yeah, the CN Tower is pretty tall. It was built nearly 40 years ago and measures 1,815 ft. I'd like to try the stair climb one day, too. Only 1,776 stairs!
DeleteOh so thrilling but I'm not sure if I'd be up for it either!
ReplyDeleteI say I want to try it but I have a feeling I'd chicken out at the last minute...
DeleteHow pretty! I love towers, and capitols. That is high up!
ReplyDeleteYup! 1,168 ft high, to be exact.
DeleteWhao.. I don' t think I would dare try walking on the outside of that tower. I've seen it done on TV though.. and it's really adrenaline rocking.
ReplyDeleteMy heart rate increases just thinking about it!
DeleteI need to get back to Toronto. Great city!

I wholeheartedly concur. :)
DeleteWow - I haven't heard of the walk, holy cow that would be something. Not sure I could step out onto it :)
ReplyDeleteIt just looks like a flag - you can't tell they're people at all. Are they crazy!?
ReplyDeleteThose edgewalkers turn my stomach every time I see them!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo's , the CN tower what an iconic landmark, the people CRAZY! Although I did go on the coaster in Vegas that goes to the edge of the Stratosphere, yup stupid and scary even though I love roller coasters!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, I would love to come and see this :) thanks for the lovely comment on my blog too :)
ReplyDeleteSo awesome & brave of them to do this!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice picture, the view from the top must be amazing! Not sure if I'd be brave enough to do it, I'm sure they are harnessed and safe, I'd like to think I'm brave enough .. lol
ReplyDeleteSo scary and amazing all at the same time, definitely an adrenaline rush!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to leave a comment here on Toronto Teacher Mom. Hope you have a great day!
