Hong Kong's "Spider" Men

The guys who hang bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong are commonly known as "Spider" men. When you or I experience equipment failure at work, it usually means we lose some data, can't get email, or can't make a phone call for a while. If this guy's tools fail him . . . well, the consequences are a lot worse. Photo taken from my apartment on the 24th floor. This guy is perched outside the window of the apartment on the 18th floor.
