Oh, so high on the ladder, it makes me feel giddy... a very good capture, plus a fine blue color of the sky :)

@Nina: I htought he was brave to wave lol he didn't fall though :)
grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Only just from the look of it
Then I spotted the ladder
Still a certain nonchalance
Would tend to indicate he has never taken a tumble
Bitter experience has taught me otherwise
8 Sep 2009 10:18am
@grouser: Well put you poor grouser, he was fine, I promise ;)
Christel from Köln, Germany

The feathered sky, the jagged lines, and a faceless man, a portrait in time.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
I don't see very well if he is still on the ladder, I think he is but my first impression was that he was standing a bit futher away on the edge of the roof. A nice composition.

It looks like he is about to do a back flip. Nothing like a well balanced guy and friendly wave.
Well spotted, Lorraine.
