You'd think they'd lock the roof...

HeldDown

... of a 25 floor building, don't you think?
Apparently not
At 5am, I was still awake and restless and said to myself "that sunrise is beautiful... I wish I could get a good shot of it... stupid city! Too bad I can't get on the roof..."
Wait a second...
Take the elevator all the way up to the penthouse, discover you DON'T need a passkey to get off on that floor (contrary to what I've been told by security.) Get up there, go to the stairwell... up to the top... a door to the roof! Huzzah! Wait, a big old padlock. Crap. Oh well.
Wait! Let's check the other stairwell!
Another door to the roof! Huzzah! Wait, another big ol' padlock. Crap.
Wait! Let's check something...
I guess security guards aren't good at remember combinations... turns out they just CLOSE the lock and don't latch it, so it LOOKS locked, but they don't need to remember a combo. Sneaky.
So I went out on the roof.

After almost dying a few times... realizing I was prancing around a roof with a 1' tall wall around it, steps from plumetting almost three hundred feet to my death...

I got some awesome panos


Toronto, looking south towards downtown...



And looking east (same direction as my window... just hundreds of feet farther up!)
