Wow...

Is this picture real at all? During the building of a civilization, I mean, how can they do that? If I was their position, I think I would fall easily.

My god...

edit -

I think it's a World Trade Center in a process of being built.

UPDATE -

Yes it's real.

Not sure of the relevence of the photo TheoOne, the civilization pictured is neither lost or ancient?

Anyway cool pic.

I know, well...it is ancient photo, wouldn't that be?

Wasn't sure where to post it, anyway.

Not sure but i think it was the Empire State or RCA building
pic by perhaps Fred Stein maybe Charles Ebbets or or that era.
Like that? try googling "dogmen at work" they were the guys that rode the girders as they were lifted into place from the ground, swinging in the wind, spinning and controlling the girder with their weight, extreme sport 1930's style for a coupla bucks a week, awesome. Thats why the invented trade unions so the safety gear is mandatory now, as well as payments to widows!

Nope

taken on the 69th floor of the GE Building during the construction of Rockefeller Center.

A lot of people died doing work like this.

People still die from heights work; and as you know also ground work.

[Edit: Awesome picture!

Ah, thanks makeitso.

Rockefeller Center? Damn, I didn't know that one existed.

In this pic, it's like those workers are so cool with it and have no problem doing it. The advanced humans at its finest.

The photo is called "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" is an actual photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets during the construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in 1932. Nothing staged about the photo at all. Cool, but scary.

It's mind-blowing to look at this photo, really.

No, I'm serious.

Now days OSHA wouls flip if this happend! Peaches, good pic man! As a dude who is scared to death of high places, just looking at the pic sends shivers down my spine. It realy was a different era....

P.S. Peaches ^.^

That pic makes my stomach turn lol. Brave guys.

You sure wouldn't catch me alive, or dead for that matter, up there on that steel. I can't believe people are that athletic.

I have to hand it to them though; they know how to live large, and on the edge!!

I have a paralyzing fear of heights.That photo gave me vertigo, and actually made me scared and I'm sitting at home in a chair.

That looks like the real on,e there are so many fakes out there. But they did do that back in the ole' days.

This picture scared me just looking at it. Call me a wimp but you would never ever catch me doing that....ever.

Wow

When Men were Men and they were not ashamed of it. Just look at how comfortable they are up there!! Amazing...

What an incredible inspirational and motivational picture...
