You're welcome. They seem so life-like, I did have to turn my head a couple times. - "where's your coat?"

I'm like Sandra, I could look at these all day. If there is a cafe (or bar) nearby, with comfortable seats, it would certainly get my custom regularly.

Hi Alan: I almost died of a heart attack when I first saw this. I was getting out of a show at night and all I could see was shadows. You'll have at least a 100 bars/clubs/cafes/restaurants to choose from depending on your budget.

Hi Paul, just been reading up about this on the internet.
workers eating their lunch on top of a Rockefeller skyscraper beam, 1932. Most of these men are believed to be Irish immigrants. I have attached a link to an article. This has a short video underneath the two photos. Thought you may enjoy it if you haven't already seen it.

Thank you so much Alan. The article is very interesting and strikes a personal chord with me since I come from a family of Irish Immigrants - wait - one of those guys looks familiar.
