A ladder is a tool which is made for people to climb up or down. Ladders have two vertical supports that go along the whole length of the ladder. Between these supports are the horizontal rungs. The rung is what the climber can put his foot on. (Wikipedia)

This juvenile woodpecker was inspecting the birdbath in my backyard. A young male just starting to grow the red feathers in his crown. This species of woodpecker is one of the smaller ones in our area and their high-pitched "yip" calls alert me to their presence.

A class 25 hurries past Plumpton Junction signal box with a down flask train in June 1984. The wooden ladder - which is marked "B.R. Barrow" - was being used to support some form of staging during the painting of the signalbox, I guess it wouldn't be the approved way of working at height nowadays!
On the opposite side of the tracks here, the Lakeside branch had both an east and a west connection to the main line forming a triangular junction, but there was also another similar - though smaller - triangle of lines on this side of the sidings serving limestone quarries until the late 1940s. Both these "triangles" of tracks can clearly be traced on satellite view maps like Google Earth or OS Aerial view.
Viewed from the access gate it can be seen that the sleepers are still in place from one of the lines that fed into the sidings from the Plumpton Quarries.
Light people wanted, easy work highly exciting. Why fly with eagles when you can plummet to the depths.
Only one hundred feet down that's all...

"My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place - police, firefighters and members of our armed forces."
-- Sidney Sheldon (American writer who was prominent in the 1930's, first working on Broadway plays and then in motion pictures)

A fragment of industrial geometry suspended in silence.
The rigid rhythm of metal rungs contrasts with the infinite grey — a structure without a destination, a quiet metaphor for ascent and emptiness.
Bahuaja-Sonene National Park, Peru
For anybody that's interested, I now have a write-up about this trip entitled Peru ‘Andes to Amazon’ on my website together with an associated photo album.
Goldstream Dredge No. 8 is a ladder dredge operated by the Fairbanks Exploration Company from 1928 to 1959. It is located on the old Steese Highway between Fairbanks and Fox in the central part of Alaska.
Starting in the 1920s, water was brought to the area through the 90-mile (145 km) Davidson Ditch for gold mining. The Goldstream Dredge No. 8 cut a 4.5-mile (7.2 km) track and produced 7.5 million ounces of gold.
The dredge was named a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. In 1984, it was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, it is open to the public. During summer months, tours of the dredge and gold panning are available for a small fee.
This is a ladder that you can use on your dock, marina, pool or any body of water.
It is scripted to have you climb out of the water only.
Please try the demo in-world.

The ladder here is the great interest in relation to the images of the world as seen by the graffitists. One of those surprising compositions which reflect Minor White's idea that, "Dreams and photographs have something in common; those photographs that yield to contemplation at least have a quality about them that tempt one to set associations going."
