A dangerous job but someone's got to do it -

Amidst the massive and tall skyscrapers, these old structures seem to hold their own beauty -

Old Amidst The New

And yet, to them, it's probably just another day at work...nice work at capturing them. The second one is a nice little slice of beautiful Chicago. I really love the mix of the old and the new architecture. So different, yet, seems to compliment each other well.

Fantastic shots, Hayward. The first shot is intriguing to imagine they are doing that without scaffolding. Great capture.
