An 80' ladder heads up a 75 degree angle in one of the original Calico Ghost Town mines. Located outside of Barstow, Ca. This shot was taken at a mine deep within the old Calico Mines not accessible by someone without a special contact.
This was a surprise sight when I looked out my window this morning. It wasn't clear to me if the FDNY was inspecting the vacant building or if this was a training session. I think the latter as one guy in the bucket seemed to be explaining procedures to the other two firefighters and none of them were looking too closely at the building.
The actual time was just under ten minutes.

A ladder that provides access to the roof on the old Masonic Temple in downtown Santa Ana. I liked the white on white and strong shadows. I also liked the contrast between the blue cloudless sky and the historic white stone building.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. You can also find me at:
This unpaved switchback is the only road up the mountain to Tasmania's main ski resort, on top of Ben Lomond. At 1,572 metres, Ben Lomond is Tasmania's second highest point. The mountain is an isolated dolerite plateau rising from the surrounding plain, a remnant of volcanic activity. The dolerite is dissected into the striking hexagonal columns visible here.

I knew she was going to get in trouble. Jeanne and I were having lunch and this pesky moose decided she needed my ladder. Must be she doesn't feel she is tall enough to reach the higher branches of our willows. Zoom in for a closer look.

This is a fabulous ladder, it's light which means I can carry it. It has a shelf that fits on top to hold various items.
Every year I have to clean tree debris from the roof and gutters and apply moss killer to the roof. This year, in addition to the normal debris, a big fir branch fell on the roof. The ladder is set up to deal with that branch and the other debris.
For years getting from the ladder to the roof was a spooky experience, necessitating a slow gymnastic move with one or two hands on the shingles, Last year I got smart and started clamping a grab board to the ladder
The board extends about three feet (0.9 m) above the yellow top and acts as a hand-hold that makes moving from the ladder to the roof (and vice versa) much safer than it would be without it. Stepping on the top aluminum step is now safe as long as I move slowly and carefully so I don't wiggle the ladder. Grabbing the gutter up above provides extra balance security.
The green tint is a function of light reflecting off of bushes next to the porch.
One thing I don't like about the ladder truck in the Lego Fire Station is that the way its boom is deployed isn't realistic. It is tricky to add functionality on a model that is this small, but the boom on my truck deploys in the same fashion as the real one.

Here's my 6-wide hook and ladder with set 6340 Hook & Ladder. Set 6340 is special to me because it ended my LEGO "dark ages" -- I bought it on a whim in a tiny toy store in DC, and putting it together was so much fun that it got me back into LEGO.
