My Strange Obsession

I have an unusual obsession. I LOVE the tops of buildings. I love looking up at a building and seeing what little tricks the architect put where very few would ever bother to look. Most people never look up. Sure they may look up to see if it's about to rain, or maybe even to see where the bird poop on their shoulder came from, but to actually see the building they are about to enter? No, why bother. It's just a means to an end. I feel like I belong to a strange little secret society filled with architect students, art students, and myself. Somehow I was given a pass into the club to see what most people don't. Architects designed the tops of buildings for me, and people like me. I often wonder why in a world of earth dwellers the designer of a building would put so much fun and exciting details in the world of birds. They put them there for people with their heads in the clouds. They put them there for me.
