Lunchtime Atop a Skyscraper Photograph (September 1932)

Lunch atop a Skyscraper (New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam) is a famous photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets during construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in 1932.

The photograph depicts 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling hundreds of feet above the New York City streets. Ebbets took the photo on September 29, 1932, and it appeared in the New York Herald Tribune in its Sunday photo supplement on October 2.

They work at that height everyday and after awhile you stop fearing just being there. And your only scared of things are going bad but even then most of the time it isn't that bad because you what needs to happen.
