Hi, Duncan-san. This is a very interesting shot. A lot of cables are typical Japanese scenery.

@Makoto T: Thanks Makoto. theres certainly a lot of overhead cabling here isnt there.

Craiger from Vacaville, United States

That looks like a nightmare of a job. I wonder what his life expectancy is. B&W works well here. Great job! Merry Christmas!

@Craiger: Thanks Craiger, aye, I hope the guy gets 'danger money'! merry christmas!

Myst from Bologna, Italy

Very interesting and different!
Merry Christmas!

@Myst: Thanks Myst! merry christmas to you too. have a good one!

Maoya from Rolle, Switzerland

I like all that cable mess against the perfectly white sky. That definately looks really dangerous.

@Maoya: Thanks Maoya! it does look a bit precarious doesnt it...

badala from Leiria, Portugal

Great angle. It`s scary.

@Eduardo: Hey Eduardo! Feliz navidad! there sure is a lot of overhead cabling around the cities here, its quite a typical sight in that respect. Hope you have a great holiday and all the best in the coming year.

Still from Valence, France

I hope that this guy is not inattentive. If not ... it will be happen a lot of perturbation. This shot works well in B&W.
Have an happy Xmas for you and yours!

@Still: Thanks a lot still! have a good one too!

Daniel from Olympia, United States

Now that is a high wire act.

@Daniel: Aye. you're not wrong.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

I wonder if he listens in other people's phone conversations... I guess he wouldn't have to get up so high just to do that, though. Again, very cool; he's starting to look more like an insect caught in someone else's web here.

24 Dec 2006 3:41pm

@Damon Schreiber: Hey Damon. aye he looks a little tangled doesnt he...

Jay from Montreal, Canada

I'd say he looks like Spider-Man in his own web... then again, I have a vivid imagination!
Merry Christmas! :)

@Jay: Im veering towards him being 'the fly' than the spider...yesterdays post had him in a more commanding position though. merry christmas!

David Widepixel from Verbania, Italy

Great Sequence! & Merry Xmas!!

@David Widepixel: Thanks David! merry christmas to you too!

Michael Zhang from New York City, United States

I agree, his body forming a horizontal line is unnerving. The jungle of lines surrounding him make this such an enticing photo. Btw, those weren't PS3s. I think they're completely sold out in the US. Happy holidays!

@Michael Zhang: hey Michael! happy holidays to you too! Might have to go for the Wii instead then...it's for the kids of course ;-)
