I snapped this while waiting for an appointment at my clinic. (Just a routine appointment.) I spent my time watching the progression of these window washers who were working on the hospital across the way. As you can see, the window that I took the picture out of could also use a wash. Maybe our building was next?
Their job was impressive not only due to the height but because it’s the dead of winter . . . in Duluth. That’s Lake Superior below/behind them. It was a calm, sunny day but nowhere near warm.
Everyone who walked through the waiting room and noticed the workers stopped to admire their bravery and derring-do. I don’t think any of us would have traded places, however.

Holy cow! Whattaya wanna bet they do winter surfing on Lady Lake, in their spare time?
Seems like a good bet that they do. Yikes.
It takes a special kind of person to do that kind of work.
Yes, and it sure ain’t me!
Now there’s a job for a robot!
True! Or a rumba with suction cups?
Wow – terrifying!
Yes! The washers themselves seemed pretty nonchalant about it. I suppose they’re used to it.
Wow! I have always been afraid of heights. So, whenever I see someone doing this type of work, I give them a lot of credit and hope that they get paid lots of $$!
I also hope their pay was worth it!
Crazy people. I hope they pay them lots and lots of money. I does seem a bit strange to be washing windows in cold winter climate
I also hope their pay was worth it! I’ve can’t recall the last time I saw window washers during the winter, if ever.
Maintenance workers such as window washers and tower workers have my admiration and respect.
Yes, they certainly were doing an impressive job!
That’s nuts!!
I think I would have gotten dizzy just watching them! Nice photo!
That’s one job I couldn’t do!
That seems to be the consensus! I’m glad some people are brave enough to do that, but I sure couldn’t, either.
