Above: Just as it began to snow we started stringing up the Christmas lights along the boom.This past saturday I found myself 300 feet off the deck of a residential high rise stringing Christmas lights along the boom of a very large crane. To say the least it was exhilarating but throw some snow, 30km/hr winds and a 3 inch walkway, well you make for an unique and intense experience.
Above: Alright, it's time to start work.
Above: Halfway along the first side.

Above: Down on the deck Doug, Brad, Aymen & Seungjoo were preparing the Christmas lights that were going to be strung up the mast.
Above: A closer view of the light preperation.
Above: It's about 300' to the base of the crane.
Above: By this time i'm ready to come down. You can see the 3" rusty rail i'm walking along, not much fun in snowy & windy conditions.
Above: Vancouver all snowy, that's the Cambie Street bridge.
Above: Looking west along False CreekMan am I glad Christmas only comes once a year.
