It's a tall, tall world....

It's a world of gas fumes, a world of gray.

It's a world of carbon and urban decay.

There's some junk in the air, that its time you're aware, it's a smog, smog world.

Today Dade and I forked out $17 to ride the world's fastest elevator to the world's highest observatory deck.

The viewing deck is situated 1614 feet above street level. To give you an idea, the Empire State Building is 1454.

The observatory deck had glass floors, and floor to ceiling glass windows. It was stomach churning to say the least.

Unfortunately, the view from 1614 feet can sometimes suck. Especially on a day when the smog index is over 200.....which it was.

Enough said- here are the pictures from the world's highest observatory.

Note- the building in picture 4 is taller than than any building in Oregon.
