Thought I would show my latest Timelapse attempt. Some guy's sandblasting a power tower in prep for a new paint job anyway here it is.

Wow – you would need nerves of steel to climb those things and work at the same time. Don’t they look like ants when they climb up and down the structure!

Are there built-in ladders or were the workers actually climbing the struts of the tower?

Cheers

Dennis
