View from the Top

Whenever I watch something on screen, I love when the camera shows an aerial shot of the whole place whether it’s a huge city or a small town. You don’t get that in real life. All you get is a Google street view.


The aerial shot gives me a different perspective each time. That’s why the view from the 40th floor never ceases to amaze me, an aerial view of some sort; it reminds me how small I am and how big the world is.

It puts things into perspective, that in this vast world, I occupy a space so minute that others may not see the dent I make in the time-space continuum. And yet for others, the dent is all there is.
