Having a Head for Heights

Typically, after a long bank holiday weekend of leaden skies and much rain, the first day back at work revealed blue skies and warm sunshine. I took a short walk at lunchtime and couldn't resist blipping more of the steeplejacks at work. Seeing this guy up there I was rather envious. I could actually do that job - although I would definitely have a camera in my hand as well as a spanner. To get a sense of the height involved have a look at The Art of the Steeplejack taken a few days ago.

I'm writing this from my room in a little hotel near Heerlen in the Limburg region of the Netherlands. I've taken a flight from Leeds to Dussledorf and arrived by car at night so I've no real sense of the scenery as yet. I do know, however, that there are hills here, albeit little ones. Apparently, our client chose this venue especially for me to prove that this country isn't entirely flat! We shall see tomorrow.
