it must be quite an experience to see Auckland from one of its viewing deck. a revolving restaurant--that is so cool!
ReplyDeletethe last photo is my favorite.:p
The Sky Tower look piercing toward the sky! Panoramic views from the revolving restaurant must be quite something. Thank you for sharing, Suzy.
ReplyDeleteExcellent POVs. Great captures.
ReplyDeleteNice shots. I'd have to go up there if I was in Auckland.
ReplyDeleteThanks Everyone.
ReplyDelete@Luna @Stardus - The views are awesome. I've been up there thrice at different times and the views are great any time of the day. But there's something extra special about the evening.
@Al - New Zealand is definitely worth a visit.
In a way this reminds me of the Space Needle in Seattle. Quite an impressive structure. I now people like to go up and eat in the restaurants on top, but not this old gal. I want my feet firmly planted on terra firma at all times. Your photos are great. I feel like I have actually ben there, now.genie
ReplyDeleteThanks Genie - I think I'm okay with heights as long as there is glass and a barrier between me and the outside. I can't handle heights over water. that just scares me to death.
