  An amazing shot of a Full riding dogman and two(?) adventurous photographers. It makes me wonder where the photographer photographing the pictured photographer was standing. The whole scene looks absolutely precarious for today's standards; The wooden ladder, the photographer in a suit with a cumbersome camera standing on narrow scaffolding, the scaffolding itself (OMG!) as well as the full riding dogman without safety harness, riding in the bathtub. As far as I remember, full riding dogmen still existed in the early seventies, much to the surprise of this new migrant to Australia. OH&S did not exist yet in those days to the standard they do now. Though, inspecting the shot a bit closer, it makes me wonder whether the shot may have been manipulated, i.e. how did the photographer step off the wooden ladder and his shadow not casting on the wall and on the scaffolding boards (shoes). Be it as it may, the shot shows the dangerous job of the now extinct full riding dogman and construction standards in those days.

  Amazing. I had no idea it was built that way.

  The photo is shot looking North to Newcastle from Gateshead. I suspect it is from the top of St. Mary's church tower. I notice the swing bridge is open, but I can't see any large river traffic.
