If I was talking to someone and I asked, "what do you do for fun?" and they said, "I climb on top of cranes and take pictures" I'd slap them right in the face. It wouldn't even be by choice. It would just be my body's natural reaction from hearing something so ludicrous. After you snap that pic do you immediately upload it to the iCloud in case you fall and die?
I don't know if it's the lens or what, but this picture looks disturbingly high. Maybe it's the fact that it looks like the photographer is only standing on one foot. Maybe it's just that we didn't build cranes for humans to climb so this whole situation is ridiculous. Now, the big question is: did he climb that whole way or did he just grab on tight and let the crane do the work?
