Hi Bryan .. when I was still working, I would go for a walk during my lunch hour and I would see something new everyday .. Chicago is a very beautiful city .. thanks for nice comments

awesome work as usual Hayward, The 1st one especially is stunning, I had to look twice to see there are only 2 men up there, rather them than me!

Love the mix of old & new in the 2nd shot, I much prefer the older buildings compared to the glass sky scrapers.

Well, now....that's an interesting job! I like how their red shirts stand out against the blue on the glass. The mix of old and new in your second photo is very pleasing.

I'm sure i wouldn't fit in those boatswains chairs so no worry for me. lol Nice capture of these very busy people though and the composition with the buildings holds interest in the viewer.

Good Grief ! I'm glad that's not what I have to do for a living-Heart Attack waiting to happen.
But aside from that, you got some great shots!
