Urban exploration

Some workmen were doing some maintenance up on our building's roof recently.  We discovered that they'd left the service stairwell open and unlocked.  Since that's pretty much an invitation to go poking around, that's exactly what I did.

The roof has a walkway all around the perimeter and a nice view of the harbour.  This is what we'd see if we lived across the hall.  The roof isn't, unfortunately, suitable for family fireworks-viewing.

Then I went down the stairwell to see where it came out.  It turns out that we're linked with the service alley behind all the kitchens of the restaurants in our building.  Neat.
