It terrifies me having to go up there........ but because of some of the people who live there, rather than the height!

Sorry 'bout that! These next ones don't have anything like that!
The first three - there was a French tightrope walker attempting to wire-walk between the two tower you can see, plus another out-of-sight behind them, this past weekend. Sadly, he didn't manage it, due to the high winds.
Of the latter two, the first is of lower (15 floors) tower blocks all in a row, with the railway line in front, and the second is of a near-derelict row of houses near our office. The sad thing about these is, they were all renovated only 3 or 4 years ago - now, they're due to be demolished.

These mark the last of the first "batch" of pics I took - if interest is shown, I'll post some of the next lot. Be warned though, they are quite depressing. (Well, I think so, anyway)
