Cheers, standing the glass is a bit of a weird feeling.

Some great views there thanks for sharing! 
I know I couldn't stand on the glass myself - I chickened out at the CN Tower and although the Auckland version is shorter I still couldn't!

Superb pics.
Looks like another nice place to visit some day.
I've stood on the glass floor of the CN Tower, a good recipe for vertigo!

Auckland looks like a really nice city, but I do tend to like to keep my feet a bit closer to the ground.

Great photos and thank you for the plug! Did you do the jump off Sky Tower? Looks a little misty, but I think I could just make out the roof of Auckland Grammar in the last photo.
Thanks, mate!

Great views. Your city is on my list to visit. I was in Sydney a while back on a business trip, but was unable to stretch the time to make a stop in Auckland.

Fascinating photos, BeeDee. I know absolutely nothing about New Zealand, but those who do tell me it is a wonderful Country to visit. I doubt I ever will now, but miracles can happen!
The glass floor atop the tower reminds me also of the CN Tower in Toronto where, in 1996, I had no fear of standing on theirs. The only trouble I had was pushing all the kids off it so that I could 'have a go'!!
Take care,
Ham.
