A regular sight on any construction project, the TTAP participants must learn to safely assemble scaffolding.

Scaffolding goes up on the University of Bristol's landmark tower (the Wills Memorial Building) under cloudy skies.
This was my first stab at processing film myself (or the first time for about 15 years, anyway) and it didn't come out too badly.
The building looks impressive when the scaffolding is removed and you can see the new roof and painted upper floor for the first time.Oct 2012
This is my second attempt at this subject. I cropped more tightly this time and did some dodging and burning in photoshop. (I'm just learning about this technique.)
Scaffolding in Cambodia is often this chaotic - which makes it hard to see if the building itself is straight.
Scaffolding around the 600 year old Dom Tower in the city of Utrecht. The Dom Tower is 112,5 meter high and the construction was completed in 1382, just before the iPhone was introduced onto the market. The tower is in need of maintenance. The elements wear out the natural stone and the grout wears out over the years. It is a reoccurring process, restoration has been done several times before. The current restoration started in 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2024. The works started at the top and the restorers will work their way down. The internal of the tower will not be touched, it is still in good condition and while the restoration works are ongoing the tower can still be visited.
The Dom tower is a freestanding tower, this has not always been the case. The nave of the cathedral collapsed during a storm on the 1 August 1674. Building the tower all those years ago is impressive, though respect for whomever erected this scaffolding around the Dom Tower this is a modern day piece of art.
