    Q1 building is claimed to be the worlds tallest residential tower. I decided to go up yesterday for a look about. The ride in the lift was great also being the fastest in the world & i got to the top in 40 seconds.
    80 floors.

    Looking south @ 400mm (shooting through thick glass here)
    And to the north
    Straight down
    No shortage of money around this place
    Brings back memories Gus (you changed your name?).. dh and I were in Surfers for a while.. great series. No sharks I see? One time my friend and I were in the ocean with our kids and the shark siren went off?? we thought it was tea time.. so we got out.

    Nice!
    How neat to be able to take an elevator up and get such views!

    That almost looks like some parts of Miami (this from movies and TV).

    Not too crowded -- the beach???

    You got some really neat photos! Looks like you had fun.

    OMG! I've stayed many times high up in the Peninsular, which was previously reputed to be the tallest residential tower in Australia, but in pics 4 and 6 it's waaaay down below! Great shots. Good luck in your struggle with the winter weather.

    Makes me feel like I'm in low earth orbit.

    That is some tower!!! Those shots are mind-boggling, Gus! Spectacular! I drive up and down streets in my city trying to find a vantage point to shoot just a little higher from. Sure wish we had one of these!!!! thumb.gif

    I just realized you have a slew of these highrises there, don't you? I guess land is so valuable they have to build up and up!!!
