As I traveled to areas along the Mississippi River enjoying the colorful fall scenery, I also encountered these fearless workers who stood far above the river performing various tasks on the railroad bridge. Today's first photo is a nice shot of that particular bridge with bright foliage in the background...a decent shot of the landscape; however, the other pictures show what it is like to work on a narrow passage several feet above the water. Like many construction workers, these men are wearing orange t-shirts and hard hats, but , more importantly, they are also wearing safety harnesses designed to assist in the event of a fall. Obviously, this job is not for the faint of heart. May they be safe in their endeavors.
