Shooter's Comments:

In my quest for new angles on old subjects, I decided to go high for the Spy Run Creek bridge reconstruction. Contract Interiors is a flooring company at Clinton and Jacobs streets in an old three-story building. When I asked if I could get on the roof the man said, "I don't know, we've never been up there." So up two flights of stairs, two ladders into the elevator mechanical room, up a four-foot wall onto the back roof and another short ladder onto the front roof and I was there.

Climbing down is always a bit trickier.
