A closer look at the men at work washing windows in our condo building in Toronto. They work efficiently while suspended in midair by a few ropes. Hats off to their nerves of steel.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your Monday and week ahead.
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill
– Men at Work, Overkill

Autumn in the Jardin de Luxembourg
This is again an attempt to photograph people and daily life in Paris in a way that keep the anonymity of the person. I will post soon some examples where people are recognizable. Here I was fascinated by the light on the chairs and his way of raking the leaves
... no, that street musician and his monkey did not come from there ... The two from Manchester performed the song from Men at Work "Down Under" in sensational coordination and a wonderful own interpretation and above all in a very good mood at temperatures around the freezing point – and a few more songs.

Some more stuff from my archives I am currently re-organising: Crew of colunteers in the steam engine room of the Scarborough Spa Express
Taken in our parking lot, showing these brave men washing windows on another condo building in our complex. Seeing them at work fascinates me.
The condo windows are being washed this week. I admire the courage it must take to work so high up !
I liked this row of cottages in Castle Combe, and the men at work at them! One of them saw me taking a picture and smiled back at me, so I suppose they won't mind me posting this :-)
We're just back from a trip to the Philippines and Hong Kong. And what an exciting adventure that was! I took a lot of images (landscape, architecture, wildlife and human interest. As always, fishermen are a returning subject. Here in a minimalistic setting.
Enjoy!
A photo of two sculptured figures named “Shipbuilders of Port Glasgow hard at Work” under construction at Coronation Park in Port Glasgow, they are by renowned artist John McKenna and will stand at 33ft tall and have a combined weight of 14 tonnes when completed. What a spectacular sight they will give the local people of an unrivalled history in shipbuilding and engineering within the local community, no doubt there will be more photos taken of this splendid monument to the men and woman who spent their lives in Shipbuilding along the River Clyde
PS At on time 2thirds of the Worlds shipping was constructed along the River Clyde.
I have a huge respect for the fishermen that fish traditionally. Like this man I photographed in the Philippines. The small amount of fish they harvest to feed their families has no effect on the ecosystem. But every year it gets harder and harder for them. The gigantic trawlers empty the sea. Let's hope that next time I will be there, they can still use their crossnets to get some fish.
I'm sharing three photos of sights seen on my walk today. To and fro took me 30 minutes. There was a dampness in the air, feeling like - 7 C. These workmen seemed to be vaccumming this drain.
Best viewed large by clicking on the photo. Thanks for your visits, much appreciated.
Two men washing our windows today. They were not washed in the Spring because of COVID19, yet another sign that things are slowly returning to some form of normalcy.

Trinity Church, Wall Street
The church has undergone extensive cleaning and repair work in the interior and exterior. Updated wiring, electrical systems and all controlled with 21st Century technology. Seen on a tour as part of Sacred Sites Open House Weekend by the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Estimated completion of the project should be by the end of the year.
The church was consecrated in 1846 and designed by architect Richard Upjohn. It's the third building on the site. Trinity's history begins in 1697, the original building burned in a great fire during the American Revolutionary War.

Elbows on the knees for this one.
These fishermen prepare their bangka (traditional Filipino fishing-boat) for their search for fish. Apparently the fish they are looking for is caught in the dark.
Enjoy!
