A meeting atop the world

As the sun began to peak on the horizon, we met atop the tallest building on this side of the world-central park tower. The tower crane was still up and we decided to ascend the massive structure to the top. As I climbed, I turned around to see my good friend take a photograph and snapped this picture as he made his way up this megalithic crane.
