Hello, @growandbow !
What a spectacular view you always bring us in your posts! I just said it before, and I continue to say it... I couldn't perform your job, even if I was only 40 meters from ground! I have a fear of heights! I can say it it has a small traumatic event that I had when I was a child... I remember when I was very very small child (less then 4 years old... and I can recall it because I didn't had a brother back then, he is 4 years younger then me), I dropped a bottle on my downstairs neighbor's pvc roof... And I lived on the second floor... which obviously blew a hole the diameter of the bottom of this bottle! At that time, my parents, after the displeasure shown by my neighbor, grounded me. Interesting, how an episode, which has nothing to do with a fall of mine, managed to do and produce such a fear of heights, and of dropping the things I have in my hand! Even today, when I'm on the ledge of a high place, I'm afraid of dropping what I have in my hands! (camera, mobile phone, etc!).
I just loved the little detour in your post! It was lovely!
