Tennis Way Up High
Andre Agassi and Roger Federer playing tennis on what looks like something out of Star Wars. It's real though

Ohhhh! Ooooooh! I know what they are on top of! It's that unbelievable hotel in the UAE.....I saw a documentary on the hotel on Discovery or A&E. They didn't show the rooftop tennis courts though.
The hotel is just amazing.

Yeah. I'd be planted to the baseline, and not a step back.

I'm not scared of heights, but I am scared of running around on a surface thousands of feet high.

Ha ha no doubt. I'm not as gutsy as you though. I'd charge the net and stay there and I'd probably hold onto that net just in case.
I just saw on the news a few minutes ago that they are planning on building a sort of "outcropping" on the Calgary Tower made of glass with a glass floor and the whole bit. That spooks me a little just thinking of it.

oh man, they have a glass floor at the CN Tower - that is the scariest thing I've ever seen.
I'd probably check out the one for the Calgary Tower...from the Elevator

My face is a bum!

That is on the helipad of the worlds only 7 star hotel in Dubai. If you look for more pictures of that hotel, you'll find its absolutely stunning.

It's really kind of cool standing on that glass floor, looking down, and seeing the curve of the CN Tower.
What's annoying, however, is when little kids are on it jumping up and down as though they want to break the glass.

Good thing you weren't there when I was jumping up and down on the glass floor then!!
I have to admit to being quite prone to the heebie jeebie's but I just had to do it. Blind faith in the engineering skills of the designers and millions before me gave me sudden balls...
Looking at that mile high tennis court makes the old unit shoot about a foot into my gut.

that is probably the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I was looking at pics from inside the hotel......even the "Cheap" rooms are 20 times better than anything I have ever stayed in and 20 times more expensive
