Queens Hotel Rooftop, Leeds- July 09

[Mexico75]

The need to do another rooftop came back with a vengance last night, so after failing to get past the reception of one building and failing to find a way out of the lift machinery room of another, I ended up on top of the Queens hotel at about 1am. Not the highest building in the world but it still has some pretty good views of the station and the city center:thumb This Rooftopping stuff is pretty addictive.

They're nice pictures mate, very nice. I would be frightened I would tip off the edge. I'm surprised there weren't more people on the street. Good work :thumb

The brightness of the streets compared to the black sky is wonderful.
