housework

taking housework to new heights, my landlord, and dear old friend, scales the roof to patch a small hole...the rubber boots were for added traction

Super capture, David. That tangle of rope seems like an accident waiting to happen. Alas, we know he made it through the project unscathed --- at least from an Emergency Room visit perspective.

He looks very attached to the house. A well balanced composition. V

This is a great composition that really tells a great story also ~V~

He's brave and this is so graphically stimulating! V

It never ends;-) There is always something to fix with a home. V

There comes a musical in my mind.."The fiddler on the roof" ! Love the beard and hair of your landlord..a character for sure!
Marcia Rules23-Aug-2012 02:47
hey, that's really a nice snippet you caught! V

That is not something that I would like to do for a living. I am too scared of heights to be comfortable walking about on a roof. This fellow seems pretty mellow though!
Karen Stuebing22-Aug-2012 22:01
Not something you see every day. Great composition and point of view. I like that he's alone up there with the chimneys. V.
Mairéad22-Aug-2012 21:50
Great shot - he looks quite at ease there.
Peter Sussex22-Aug-2012 21:13
Fiddler on the roof:) but a brave one. V
Johnny JAG22-Aug-2012 20:22
Nice to know he's not one of those roofless landlords who don't care for their tenants
marie-jose wolff22-Aug-2012 20:14
reat shot, he has head for heights! V

Santa! But it's not Christmas yet.

Don't fall!
I love your perspective here David! V

A man with a head for heights! Lovely image of your friend.

When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

Lol at Phill, great candid of your landlord, not sure what the health and safety people would think of his protective equipment for working at height though.
John Hamers22-Aug-2012 18:34
Great and well composed candid !!V
Walter Otto Koenig22-Aug-2012 18:32
Cool perspective in this candid shot David.
Phillip Normanton22-Aug-2012 18:24
Oh, I thought he'd dropped his fiddle :o)
Jim Coffman22-Aug-2012 16:59
A fine candid,David!

First of all safety. Great shot...V
Marcia Colelli22-Aug-2012 16:05
Wonderful candid capture. Not a job that I would like to do. V
Margot W22-Aug-2012 15:45
You have to have good balance and confidence and of course safety ropes play a good part in all that. Great shot David.
