Downtown Cincinnati

Sunday was photography fun day and one of the things I wanted to do was take pictures of Cincinnati. My sister-in-law lives there and was gracious enough to be my guide. We went to Mt. Adams and to the top of Carew Tower. I took panoramic sequences from Mt. Adams, but I have not yet been able to try and assemble those so that will have to wait for another post. In Mt. Adams, I found a building that had a patio on the side next to a door that was barely big enough for my tripod. Here is downtown Cincinnati seen from that spot.

The top of Carew Tower is an amazing spot. And apparently not well known. At least not to people outside of Cincinnati. I've lived in Dayton my whole life and not heard of it. It has an observation deck 50 stories up. It's high enough without feeling crazy high like the Handcock building in Chicago for comparison. The whole deck is open air with a wall and railing. You are not caged in. You can bend over and look straight down. Here are some of the views.

To the NE (These old buildings are my favorite):
To the SE: ( Leeeeeeeannnning over the edge :-) - Don't look down! )
