Not for everybody but someone has to do it.....
I had a chance to bring my camera to work with me to grab some shots of the city from a rooftop 40 floors above Lower Manhattan. By chance there were workers rappelling on another skyscraper's rooftop as I was setting up my camera. They seemed to be higher than the rooftop I was on so I grabbed my telephoto lens and captured a few shots of them busy at work over 500ft. above the streets of the Financial District. The thought alone was enough to turn my legs into noodles and make my palms sweat. I was in a secure location on the rooftop but that didn't stop me from feeling a bit weezy watching them through my zoom lens. As the title says that line of work is not for everyone.
Below I added a couple of other shots so you can get a sense of the scale of the building & to see how high up they were. Zoom in to see the details of the work being done and of course the classic 1920's architecture of Lower Manhattan.
