WOW....what are they fixing?

They are fixing a connection on a transmission antenna (it looks like a phased array FM radio antenna).

Vincent Laforet is an excellent photographer in general (for the NYT), and does some great "aerial" work. Here's another example:

That would not be a job for me. We saw something on tv one time of the guy that changes the light bulbs on top of tall buildings like that and I almost hyperventilated just thinking about that kind of job.

I had that sent to me before with the heading worst job to have.

Climbing towers like that is not a big deal you have all your harness and lanyards etc on the talest freestanding tower I have been on was over 300 feet from the ground that was not on a building mind you but 300 feet is still quite tall. The hardest part with doing that kind of work it the time it takes to get to the top. Great picture I like the lin he does some great work.
