Not a job I'd fancy. A nice shot of the progress going on to keep the windmill in great shape, Mr. C.

Now that looks a little tricky & hard work indeed. Great angle looking up. Now were you on the deck just below them or are you on the ground?

I'm noticing how the vertical board on the far left, part of the "ladder: they're clinging to, is bowing. "Look out beloooooooooowwwwwww!"

Oh, wait, now, after looking at the full image you submitted, I see that what they're standing on is one of the mill's "blades." Well then... never mind. Good shot, C.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

I would not last too long on a job like that. I might be able to achieve that position....but I wouldn't get any work done because I would be holding on for dear life with both hands. Excellent capture, Mr. C.

Cornelius - I would not have thought that the sail frame would be used as a ladder for repairs. But, why not? A terrific capture of the men at work maintaining the mill.

Even looking at that ladder makes me a little dizzy - I give them props for doing this needed work.

They'd have to pay me extra to climb up there! But I bet it's a wonderful view.
