One of my Flickr contacts asked me if I felt dizzy, when making this photo. I didn’t in 2009, and neither did I in 2002 when I stood on it for the first time ever. To this day it is an interesting experience, especially because there are always a few people (usually ladies) who are mortified by the thought of taking to the Walk of Faith.
What they do not know, of course, is that this 2-inch glass is capable of withstanding the weights of 5 baby elephants. Therefore, I had no fear standing on the glass, and one of the visitors to the Tower this May has actuallty lied down on the glass.
In fact, do visit this page, to experience the Hitchcock-style, Vertigo-like, Flash version of the view down the glass when you “click if you dare”. But if you do come to Blackpool and climb to the very top of the tower, this is one of the views you are likely to see:

Two inch glass or no.. I got dizzy just looking at your great photo…
Naukishtae, I must admit: I feel dizzy looking at it, too. It must be the composition – because the feet are at the bottom of the photo, so it looks like I'm standing on the glass that might tip over LOL! It doesn't feel too bad when you're actually standing there.
Thanks a lot!
