he works hard for the money by summerfield

he works hard for the money

i was on top of the bridge at the third quarter end of my walk when i heard loud and heavy scratching. i looked down at the train track and saw nobody there, although i noted that there were new fencing around the tracks, possibly to keep unscrupulous people who are out on a mischief or stealing the metals attached to the tracks. as i went past the post holding this sign, the noise became louder. i looked up and saw this man hard at work at removing the holiday poster/ad, the equivalent of four storeys of a building.

tagging this for the first week's challenge of "in my backyard" of the brand new 52 captures challenge. while this is not exactly in my backyard, and as i live on the 22nd floor of a high rise, i do not have a backyard and this is in my immediate neighbourhood. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

tagging this, too, for the current scenes of the road challenge.
Nice “at work” capture

Nice spotting. Looks like a difficult job. I wonder if he puts up the next sign also.

The whole billboard is fascinating to look at. Not only is the man up there, by himself, in the cold, but his ladder is up there, hanging up there. Phew! Not for me but well spotted Vikki.

Gives me butterflies just seeing how high he is and the dangling ladder. Good catch.

The billboard is an art itself 👌❤️

Thats certainly not a job I would enjoy!

Great find. A tough job but guess someone has to do it.

Well that's Christmas definitely over then?? I'm worried about the gap between the ladders!

It's work....I bet he is glad of it.

A fascinating image. I like the billboard itself in this half cleaned state In the story that your photo tails. Well spotted

He is certainly not afraid of heights

That would be a tough job. I'm glad that he's wearing a safety harness.

The colors are terrific and I like the textures. I think we should celebrate the “behind the scenes” workers that keep our lifestyle moving forward. A nice tribute Vicki.

That would be such hard work! Arms above the head a lot of the time! Great photo.

I feel a bit of vertigo coming on just looking at that. Not a job for the feint hearted.
