At Gunpoint...That's the only way you'd get me up there!

I would love to do that, I have horrible fear of heights (almost deathly fear) but I am always going to very high places, sort of not letting my inane fears control me. I spent two days at one of the tallest office towers on a swing stage 64 floors up so we could remove a window, bring it down and then bring up a painting that would not fit in the elevator. SO after a few very windy and bouncy trips we pulled it off. And think I volunteered for it lol. Lots of stories like that but won't bother ya'll with them.

At school I’ve never got my silver swim emblem, because I refused to climb at the 3 m springboard (diving board? – damn english ;-)).
Well, here even a gunpoint wouldn’t work for me. Those workers on the photo are heros for me.

Holy Crap!
Me = not ever/not even/no way/not in this lifetime!
I have a deathly fear of heights and get horrible vertigo when I'm on the edge of anything.
I tried to look to see if the dude was wearing a belt and hooked up to something in case he fell....I think I see someting but if this is in Mexico who know what kind of safety standards are in place!
Wow...great shot Z!
We call it a springboard too MM!
