Bird's Eye View

This pic was taken in the early 1900s. The older I get the more fascinated I become with old photographs.. But when you come across a vision like this, my jaw literally drops. Will you look at that view? It’s amazing the determination, skills and bravery it took to do this job. Not to mention the trust that they had to have in their equipment. So this mammoth wire rope hoist made this skyscraper possible, but I’d place those brave men above the machine any day of the week. Much respect.
