It is a good idea to have a skyline
I absolutely love looking at skylines. For some reason it gives my ego a better proportion to the whole than it usually has and strangely enough I very much enjoy this mixture of humility and transcendence. The theory (remember the punch cake) goes otherwise but I pretend not to know. Having been headquartered most of my time in Munich, Germany, where the local people voted to ban high-rise buildings, I did not have a chance that often.
So it is very fortunate that currently I happen to live in the 18th floor of a nice building with a view on Jakarta’s Menteng (I think, probably I am wrong) skyline. It is rainy season – and very much so – but still there are some clear days. As most skylines this one also is much more impressive by night but I still have to find a decent tripod somewhere an then shall come back to that issue.
