Pics from work, 12 stories up view of Downtown Norfolk's waterside UPDATED, pics

Some pretty sweet views from up on a building overseeing waterside in Downtown Norfolk. Thats the USS Wisconsin at Nauticus.

My truck 12 floors below me, no railings up there, just a 2ft tall lip.

Your welcome, just wish i got more pics, but they were taken on cell phone camera, didnt have much memory, and thats why the quality isnt the best. Was a nice view every which way, well, if you enjoy looking at building roof tops. lol I just love being near the seashore and seeing all the boats and ships, so i took a snapshot of them.

Nice pics! The cars in the first one look like toys. That looks like a cargo ship in the background of the BB pic.

Great shots Rob.

Definately not an aircraft carrier. Probably not a gator freighter. Most likely a USNS of some sort.

Ohh, i was even higher up today. Building in center, that was where previous pictures were taken.

Some more.

Elevator room, you shouldve seen the abandoned 2 floors. (13th and 14th) Looked straight outta the horror movies. lol Reminded me of "I am legend" where all the zombie things lived. Was pretty neat, had to duck under all the pipes and ductwork and rope hanging everywhere. No lights at all.

nice pics Rob

I was wondering where BB64 when after she was decommed again, I didn't know she had been placed there. I spent time on her, she was a fine lady like her other sisters they brought back out. WSD you and your buds all did a fine job bringing them back to life again. I wish they were still cruising the seas.
