This is a ladder in Copenhaguen that is used to reach the water. I liked the color and the contrast between the background.

From Wikipedia:
FDNY Ladder Company 3 is a fire company in the 6th Battalion, 1st Division of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY). Ladder Company 3 is one of two Ladder Companies in the FDNY's 6th Battalion and has firefighting stewardship over a several square block area of Manhattan’s East Village.
Ladder Company 3 received some of the heaviest casualties of any fire company in the FDNY, losing most of its men in the September 11th attacks.[1] The company reported to the north tower of the World Trade Center, where Captain Patrick "Paddy" Brown and his men were last reported on the 40th floor of the tower.[2] The company reported to the WTC running “heavy” meaning that it had more men than would actually be on a shift (tour), as the attacks came during a shift change and both shifts ended up reporting to duty.
Sheathed in plastic and US and FDNY flags, workers prepare to lower Ladder 3's apparatus into the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
Ladder Company 3 consists of at least 25 men. Ladder 3 is part of the FDNY's 1st Division, in its 6th Battalion. The company is located at 108 E. 13th St., and also serves as the Battalion Chief's headquarters of the 6th Battalion. The company was created on September 11, 1865 and is one of New York’s oldest ladder companies.[3]
The model was inspired by a Mega Bloks set, believe it or not, but I figured I could do a better job using a proper construction toy :-)
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.

The madness continues in the form of a ladder.
Again, the Web is a grand source for information for obscure facts such as: "temporary ladders on construction sites".
Why spend money on a ladder when you can build one "on site" with scrap wood already at hand?
The only lumber needed would be 2 pieces of 2"x4" cut to the desired length for the SIDE RAILS.
The TREADS would be 2" x 3"s at 20 inches long.
And the Spacers are 2" x 2"s at 9 inches long.
And so with my scaled basswood I made my own ladder for the diorama.
Creating a jig, to keep everything lined up, was essential along with a 90 degree metal angle, to keep everything square.
It's difficult to see it in the photo, but to make sure the work surface is flat, I use a piece of glass to work on.
Wood glue is the glue of choice.
A few hours later, Ta Da! a ladder for the diorama.

Parliament Street in Kilkenny is one of the last photographs for this week. Tall buildings with a selection of ladders, tall, medium and small, a donkey with churns on the cart and children to put a smile on our faces!
Apart from the men with the ladder (believed perhaps to be associated to the "S Costelloe Builder" signage seen closeby), much of today's conversation focused on the date range for this Lawrence Collection image. In particular, though the catalogue range implies a date of c.1880-1900, based on the businesses, buildings and (in particular) posters visible, we're actually probably looking at a scene from c.1903-1909. Our eagle-eyed contributors highlight a news poster outside Power's stationers. It seems to refer to a "Universities Bill", which is probably the bill which was passed to become the 1908 Universities Act....
Photographer: Robert French
Collection: Lawrence Photograph Collection
Date: Catalogue range c.1880-1900. Though possibly c.1905 (perhaps <1908 given mention of "Universities Bill" on news poster)
