As a child I got to eat in a restaurant at the top of the tallest building in Rochester, NY, not really that tall but impressive to a small child. As an adult I have eaten and viewed Atlanta form the top of the Peachtree Westin in the Sundial Restaurant. It is an amazing view and the transition from day to night is spectacular. ~ <a href="http://calicocontemplations.info/" rel="nofollow">Calico Contemplations</a>Calico Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877107683027950258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1418341940999492045.post-79701586042137499152010-01-29T19:03:40.544+02:002010-01-29T19:03:40.544+02:00My first guess when I looked at the tower was that...My first guess when I looked at the tower was that it is the minaret for a mosque, then I read your note.

Years ago, I ate at the restaurant on top of the similar CN Tower in Toronto, and the view was nice. The shame is that you could probably see 100 or more miles in any direction if you could get into the tower. From the ground, it is so impressive. The views of SA that you present are great!Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330927601223362873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1418341940999492045.post-19692710079388551662010-01-29T14:56:40.929+02:002010-01-29T14:56:40.929+02:00This is very well composed.

Is there a restaurant or viewing platform at the top?<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by The Villages DP and for your very nice comment.
