Sometimes you can be surprised what can happen when you least expect it. This photo is an "aerial" shot of the Winterfest celebration in Ogden Utah. The aerial part came about when I saw that Ogden City Fire Dept. had their ladder apparatus extended to its max and I made the comment that I would like to be at the top for some photo opportunities. Permission and assistance granted! I was outfitted with a hard hat and a safety belt and away I went. Amazing! At the top I expected a bit of a platform for my feet but I had to brace against the top ladder rungs and manage the camera from that position. A bit surprising how much motion (bouncing) while I was hanging out. Not enough to be frightening but more of a photo challenge. A great opportunity and I got some great shots that the other photographers can only drool over (maybe). Always take the opportunity to ask to get where others might not think about.
