Vertical reality

I'd like to see only vertical shots here, of things that are vertical or very high up in the air (and I'm not talking birds or plains, of course). Preferably shoot looking down :-)

I have long been fascinated by the architectural contrast between Boston's Trinity Church and the John Hancock Building. This one was captured at the end of a beautiful early Spring day, and special care was taken to keep the line defining the left side of the JH Building perfectly vertical and centered.
