By the Water – Looking Down, Looking Up

When I go for a walk into the city, I often choose to walk along the river where I can. The views have changed a lot over the past eight years though (i.e. since I moved in where I now live). Back then, the places where you could get close to the water were fewer; but also gave a little more (camera) illusion of being out in the wild. Now, the riverside is lined with posh apartment buildings – but they have also extended the possibilities to walk along the water, which is of course good.

While they were building these apartment blocks, I used to wonder whether their reflections would be able to fit into the river… The answer is, “it’s in the eye of the beholder”… I.e. it depends a bit on where you’re standing… But yes…

Sometimes, walking past below  and looking up at those huge furnished glass balconies (where no one ever seems to sit), I wonder how on earth they go about it to keep those windows clean.

One day back in August, I found out:

 

Now there’s a job I would not like to even try…
Good thing there are some people willing to take it on, though!
