iNsd sketch chall: above Tokyo

wow, Wow, WOW! I love your photo of the shadow!!! This is a stunning layout! I was in Tokyo in February of 2001 for work, and I remember being up on the 60th floor of our office building and looking out windows from all four walls. City as far as the eye can see. Great work with the sketch challenge!

Stunning page, love the big photo. This city is impressively over-the-top. Thanks for sharing and for playing with my sketch.

stunning city view, wow. I struggle to imagine big cities -this takes my breath away. Fabulous page and take on the sketch

Stunning view, love the shadow! Love the design with the loosely overlapping pages, very playful.

it was quite mind boggling to know there were so many 60+ storey buildings we were looking down on - none of the cities in Aust are even close to this and certainly not in our suburban area of 1 or 2 storey homes

I'm getting a little dizzy just looking down at the city in that photo! Amazing view! My intrusive thoughts are kicking in, though...what about if an earthquake hits! I know they have good engineering, but I would freak out!

I was going to ask how you got such a wonderful angle but the rest of the pictures tell it. I love the pointing hand! I don’t know if I would want to go up that high though. I am not afraid of heights, but my husband took me up a tower in our small town and once was enough for me. The photos are lovely and I like that you included the one with the big tower shadow as your largest one. Great job @bellbird.

i have so many photos like this, i need more city kits, i'm such a country and mountains person i've never really looked at 'city' scrap stuff - and heights only became an issue in the elevator/lift, they can really make your stomach drop with the speed and height. we purposely avoided the 'glass floor' sections, i don't care how well reinforced they are, i'm not that level of brave or crazy

that's part of why we went. DH is an engineer (and DS has done engineering studies in school) and the bottom floor has a gallery of the different testing and structural technical stuff and i figured they'd find it interesting (i was just there for the photo op's as you'd figure). And everything is designed to withstand earthquakes that they have on a very frequent basis, like there was a few last week and it's just part of everyday life. there's evacuation signs for that and tsunami's in a lot of locations which we noticed b/cos we have nothing like that here
