This is a 76 story building in New York. I love the outside architectural waves that look as if the walls are somewhat in motion. It was created by an amazing architect named Frank Gehry who has made other famous and wonderful buildings, one of which is the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
It holds residential apartments, and the rentals run from 5 to 10 thousand dollars a month. The views are spectacular, and the units are lovely also.
Fifteen floors is the highest I've been in an elevator. I can't imagine riding up to the 70th floor or even as high as the 40th floor, but I'm terrified of heights.
What is the highest floor you've achieved in an elevator?

I once went to the top of Sears Tower in Chicago. That was an experience. It felt like I left my stomach on the bottom floor as the speed of the elevator going that high was fast. I'm also afraid of heights, so it was the only time I went up there while I was still married.

@just4him It is an experience. One worth experiencing at least once.

@KrauseHome I didn't mind the elevator, and the view from the top of Sears Tower was amazing.

@just4him Someone else wrote about fast elevators, and that is scary. I couldn't do it.

@misunderstood_zombie I went because a friend insisted, I was sick all the time inside the elevator.

@LadyDuck I would feel the same way, I just don't think I could do it for all the money in the world.

@misunderstood_zombie After a while people get used to it and never think about it.

@silvermist It's strange to think people live so high up and never think twice about taking an elevator several times a day.

I have been over 100 stories in the tallest building in Chicago, it is an amazing sight to be able to walk around on the Skydeck.

Don't know. Must have been the Empire State Building. I remember going there when I was about 14 years old.

I went to the top of the Empire State Building, however many floors it was. That one in your photo is beautiful.

Wow! I live on the 4th floor and I think $650 Canadian is a lot.
I once visited a friend who lived on the 17th floor in a building which had a balcony and I went out on it for a few seconds and it scared me. I don't like heights either unless it's a mountain.

@misunderstood_zombie It was very scary, especially to be on the outside of the building. I started to think, what if there is an earthquake?

@JudyEv You're very lucky they don't bother you, I can hardly watch a movie with people looking for an abyss of some kind.

@JohnRoberts Those are and were very large buildings. I can only imagine how you felt when 9/11 happened, because you had been inside and thought about the people there who were there that day. Sorry, I can't seem to write what I'm trying to say about it.

Not sure what the highest would be. I have rode to the Top of the Space Needle and the Sears Tower, and I know these are tall buildings. The only ones that seem to bother me the most, are the Glass elevators where you can see outside as you go up.
