Theme Day: Heights

Acrobatic System at work, piazza Matteotti high-rise, Livorno
Maintenance crew using rope access techniques on the “Grattacielo” (Skyscraper) in Piazza Matteotti.
High rise piazza Matteotti, Livorno
With its 26 floors and 91 meters it is more a high-rise, but it is still the tallest structure in town.

    An excellent illustration of the "heights" theme, VP. And, it is still one more job that I really would not want!

    That's an interesting building but not one I'd like to be suspended from.
    I hope the workers get to see and enjoy this photo of themselves.

    Quite an interesting building and such a scary job for those window cleaners.

    Oh gosh! I don't have a serious problem with heights, but that job wouldn't be for me anyway!
    God bless you!
