This is something you'd never get me doing! I can't stand climbing ladders and I especially couldn't stand being on a ladder with its feet in the canal! It looks like these are painters with quite a demanding task ahead of them - though the canal isn't very deep really. I featured this lovely little window before on this blog. It's an office, with a very attractive outlook onto the canal. I don't think I'd get much work done if my desk was there. It's right beside the overnight moorings for boats at Salts Wharf and there are usually a couple of narrowboats tied up.
yes, better them than me!i'd like to have such a window too, but I'm not sure to be efficient at work with such a view..
ReplyDeleteIt's not so bad for the chap on the ladder, it's the little lad he has holding the ladder steady at the bottom that I feel sorry for.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! I'm assuming that the canal has a concrete bottom? In that case, at least the ladder is standing on something solid and leaning against something solid. Probably not dangerous, and I might even do it for FREE if I could get a ride on that boat afterward. :-)
ReplyDeleteNeat shot! And another good argument for never leaving your camera at home! Jim
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly not an everyday shot!
ReplyDeleteAdd this to the already-long list of jobs that Jack does not want.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine what Monty Python would do with this one!
ReplyDeleteA ladder above water, nope I would like it either! But what a great shot you captured. ~Lili
