I've done a picture similar to this in the past, though I didn't end up using it for the day. So this may look familiar. :) Anyway, this is another option for Today's picture. We're setting up DirecTV here at work and we used the Fork Lift to get the equipment up to the top of the roof.

Dave Beedon tipped me off to this shot, since he knows I have real fondness for heavy equipment photos. Your angle and composition are really inspired. And what a great sky you scored for the photograph. It also has that Escher-esque quality of appearing to switch freely from being an upward-looking view, to a horizontal and even like it might have been shot from above. I love it when that happens! A terrific pieceof work.

Paul,

This is a great one, risky, but great. You don't by chance make those OSHA "what not to do videos do you"? And how did you talk the forklift guy into letting you do this?

I have really been enjoying your work. Wonderful galleries!

Nice image - hope you did not "ride" the pallet to the top - very hazardous!
