Time to invent an automatic window washer. I know there has to be one out there. There insurance would be cheaper. Nice images.

Wow, that looks dangerous. Nice capture Hayward. You have such deep blue skies there. In the summer ours are kinda hazy and brown.

Thank you Frank - you'd think with all the advanced technology today, someone would come up with an automated window washer .. oh well

In the first photo, the red against the dark building is really good. Exceptional photo. Bobbye

One window cleaner for a building that size? Amazing! Must be an introvert who enjoys quietly working alone! It's a great photo with this caption coming to mind: "Thankless tasks". Your second photo, with the cluster of those grand old buildings amidst the new is a great tribute to their beauty. I sometimes wonder if modern builders could even build something like them and stay in budget. They have wonder details, don't they?

Wow...that makes me instantly nervous! I do love the color in the first one. I LOVE old buildings so the second one is right up my alley!
