I’ve always been fascinated by fire escapes. Every time I pass one, I have an overwhelming urge to climb until I run out of rungs and stand tall over the city, seeing what the birds see. Last time I went to New York, my hotel had a large window that opened onto a fire escape and I finally fulfilled my city-top dreams.
It’s so incredibly freeing to stand on thin metal, knowing that one wrong slip can send you careening down twenty stories into a New York alley. Luckily the fire escape remained firmly attached to the wall, and my limbs remained firmly attached to my body. I felt so empowered up there, I still dream about it sometimes.

Thanks so much Steve! Love your awesome site. :D
Ooooooh! These photos made my stomach drop… and I’m not even afraid of heights! I published a novel last year and this outfit looks just like something the main character would wear! In case I haven’t already informed you: I have a choose-your-prize jewelry giveaway going on now, as well!

Cool! If you ever need a cover model…haha. :P Thanks for the giveaway info. :)
I can’t do heights. I lived on the 18th floor of an apartment building in downtown Ottawa once. The first time I stepped in the door (not even looking out the windows) I got instantly nauseous. I frequently dream about living in apartments that tip as you walk across the floor.

Oh wow that’s so interesting! I feel like those dreams would make a really cool short film.
