 "QUANTUM SHOT" #210Up on the Roof Start with the closest available roof of a skyscraper... Many wonderful things can be tried (some with success) on top of skyscraper roofs, likely to cure your fear of heights once and for all: 1. Set up a romantic date in the skies!  2. Plan to hang out there with your buddies:    3. Try golfing in unlikely places:   (image credit: Vintage Photo) 4. Seek out prime spot for a best picture:   5. Get inspired for painting:  6. Learn to adjust the time "at the source":  7. Sign up for a job in construction:    (image credit: American Memory Project)  Modern construction worker perches on steel girder during construction of Toronto's CN tower:  (image credit: Time magazine, Dec. 30, 1974) 8. Choose your dining options wisely:  (image credit: Vintage Photo) Your dining choices just got better:  "Dinner in the sky" takes place at a table suspended at a height of 50 meters by a team of professionals.

Receive the saint's blessing on the same roof:  (image credit: Brian McMorrow) PS: Once your fear of height is taken care of, you can transfer your activities to an airplane wing (note: this picture was taken before the advent of Photoshop)  Sources: American Memory Project, Vintage Photo Permanent Link...
