  1. Elizabeth, they walk as if it is natural to be up there precariously balanced. Argh...I will pass, too. Great photos!

  2. How fortunate you were there to get such good photos! Coincidentally, I was looking at an etching yesterday done in the 1940s by James Allen called The Connectors, in the permanent collection of the Art Students League of New York. Highrise builders have some nerve, don't they! I love these photos.

  9. Uh...yeah...they must have amazing balance...maybe they are tightrope walkers on the side? That's a career I would pass on, too.

  12. Nope. Not for me either. My balance has never been perfect and I'm scared to death of heights, too.
