Through the Looking Glass

Between 2 and 5% of the general population is afflicted with acrophobia, with twice as many women affected as men. So says Wikipedia. I must then be proud to be between 1 and 2.5% of the general population to be so blessed and chosen with this irrational fear of being high up.

This is the view from the glass ceiling / rooftop terrace of a shopping mall. I was tricked into stepping unto it and looking down over 10 stories! It had been raining, making the glass refract the view. That was the only thing that kept me from wetting my pants in public. OK, I exaggerate.
