The Highest Place by Cylon
October 1st, 2012 9:39 PM
While poking around the Michigan Tech campus, ThreeKoi and I came across this structure.
I immediately headed for the ladder, imagining a triumphant shot of me standing proud and tall atop the metal platform. What a view that would be, too, peering down into the humid flora!
Alas, this highest point was not to be. ThreeKoi rightly pointed out that all those strips of windows put her in as much danger as me of getting in trouble with University police if I made her stick around to take the picture. While the risk seemed worth it, there is something to be said about not having the authorities called on you while attending a professional conference.
Although my hopes of biodome climbing had been dashed, my taste for danger had been peaked. Happily for me, we shortly happened upon a high voltage unit! Not two minutes later, up I had scampered, to perch on top of the box of electricity, peering down not at flora, but at a big, scary warning label.
A biodome lost, but danger stunt highest point attained!

The competition of danger? That adds a whole new shading to the task...

Not looking for more danger (there's a thin line between courage and foolishness), but for something more challenging, a higher or more interesting highest point of anything.
I want this competition to continue.
