Description
Want job security? Then hire on as a window washer on a skyscraper:-)
This one is in Seattle and we just happened to be walking by this blue, all glass giant when it was in for a daily sponge bath.
Please don't ask me the name of the building...can't find it online. If anybody has more luck than I did, please let me know:)
CHANGE 1: Tara just found the name of the building!!! Here it is: Fifteen Twenty-One Building

Wonderful capture! There you better not an inkling of a fear of heights...

Got me, but it's a beauty! I would NOT want that job, although think of the photo ops you'd have on a daily basis! Wouldn't be any fun in the cold wind or rain, though. Great capture, Bill!

I was watching a show about six months ago on how they are replacing those humans with machines. They say it's to dangerous. Excellent POV and capture!

I actually saw a clip on TV (not sure if it was Discovery or Nat Geo) where a freak wind blew some window washers all over the place and crashed them into the glass! It was havoc but luckily the guys survived! As you say - never ending! This is a lovely building and image Bill! :)

Can you imagine? That's a lot of glass to clean. cool shot.

I bet when they come to the end, they have to start all over again!!! Great capture.
lyron
Yes, too much work. Great capture!!
Valentin
An exciting shot! I can image standing there very easily
kenmo

jocko500

Fantastic capture.

Super building Bill! I can imagine that by the time they get to the end they have to start all over again....so never ending job is quite right...lol

Cool capture, Bill! I expect that one building could keep a couple guys employed for a long time! By the time you get to the second side, the first side would be dirty again. Then multiply that by two more sides..... Yeah, never-ending.... It's called 'BIG!' LOL! I think I prefer fixing copiers....

No thanks on the job offer, Bill.

I'm glad I don't have that job, but I bet they get a great view. A super blue capture with lovely reflections.

Fine capture of this glass leviathan, Bill! Took guts to build it, considering it's in earthquake territory. When I read the title I thought you were referring to the learning curve in Photoshop.

I love watching the window washers at our office building. I love to make faces at them when they are washing our 14th story windows. I wouldn't do their job for the world but I have a feeling they wouldn't like mine either.

Fantastic capture!

No way that you would get me in that rig, on that building. Great capture. Dana

Gives me the willies just looking at this--but I'll bet these guys have some view--both outside AND inside that building!!
bazza
Great shot Bill what a great job, but not in strong winds :-O the view would be great but doubt if they have much time to look with that many windows..
helanker
Not me, Not me :-O Excellent capture though :-)
marybelgium

This is the Fifteen Twenty-One building on Second Avenue in Seattle. It's 38 floors of million-dollar-plus condominiums. (Glad I could answer your question!) :) I love this building ... it's so photogenic! You inspire me to find a couple of mine that are different from yours and put them up. The window washers were a great touch. Think I'll pass on the condos, though. Too rich for my blood!
