Busy Workers High Off the Ground

These men look so tiny, as they work with the crane to place the girders in the structure for a new office building going up in the West Loop area. I don't now how they so casually and confidently walk around on the beams.

i think i see one who's slacking! great view you have, miss taffy. i hope that building will not obstruct your great view.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

not a job I'd be any good at!

[Casablanca]

I guess it's all down to practice. These guys amaze me! Shot works so well in mono with all those lines.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Not for me !! but a wonderful capture of these miniature figures amongst the vastness of all the lines and constructions !

[haskar]

Great shot and processing.

[Caterina]

Wonderful lines. So straight!

[Marloes]

An intriguing, graphic comp. Filled with dare devils. Fav!

[Lou Ann]

I’ve often said I doubt steel workers can get life insurance! Wonderful capture!

[Leon Buijs]

Great shot, lovely lines and something to explore everywhere in the image

[Joan Robillard]

A neat graphic shot

[Merrelyn]

I imagine that OH&S rules will have them all attached to safety lines but it's still not somewhere that Id like to be :)

[gloria jones]

Great composition to see all of the lines, shapes...well done

[Diana]

Great shot of these to me daredevils, I could not be up there for all the tea in China.

[carol white]

Great processing and capture

[Jason]

Very nice......

[Henk-Jan]

Great looking construction work in B&W with the people at work

[FBailey]

Are there safety harnesses? Like the strong lines but couldn't do their job for anything

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I really like all the lines, shapes, and textures and it looks good in B&W.

[Marnie]

Incredible shot, such sharp detail, and lots of. I have a strong suspicion that these blokes would all have harnesses, scaffolding etc, etc if the same job were being done here. Nanny state nowadays here.

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Korcsog Károly]

I like it!

[Angela]

Reminds me of Escher

[Jane Pittenger]

Something about the sharp b and w that makes this feel at once like a toy city and frightening

[Rob Z]

I have to agree with Jane - they just look like little toy men. What a job!

[Tom]

Wonderful men at work composition

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It gives me butterflies just thinking about it! Great shot- you want to keep looking to see what all the workers are doing.

[Ukandie!]

Love this,so interesting! Great b&w edit, love the crispness of this.
