"QUANTUM SHOT" #210
Up on the Roof
Start with the closest available roof of a skyscraper... Many wonderful things can be tried (some with success) on top of skyscraper roofs, likely to cure your fear of heights once and for all:
1. Set up a romantic date in the skies!
2. Plan to hang out there with your buddies:
3. Try golfing in unlikely places:

4. Seek out prime spot for a best picture:
5. Get inspired for painting:
6. Learn to adjust the time "at the source":
7. Sign up for a job in construction:

Your dining choices just got better:
"Dinner in the sky" takes place at a table suspended at a height of 50 meters by a team of professionals.

PS:
Once your fear of height is taken care of, you can transfer your activities to an airplane wing (note: this picture was taken before the advent of Photoshop)
