When I'm Cleaning Windows

The problem with building glass skyscrapers? Someone's got to clean them. We strapped ourselves into a cradle, with a bucket and cloth and got washing.

Gateshead, U.K
Which end you want to start?

Chicago, Illinois
A good strong rope is the key.

Philadelphia
Don't drop that bucket!

Bangkok, Thailand
Silhouetted against the bright morning sun, he stretches to clean a spot.

Beijing, China
 Formation Window-Washing will be a demonstration event at next year's Olympics. Here the Chinese team practice a move.

Floating your Boat
By the time you've finished cleaning the windows on the QE2, it's time to start over again.

Manila, Philippines
Never walk below a window cleaner's cradle.

Orlando, Florida
 Holy Soapsuds! The Caped Crusader, down on his luck, is forced to take a second job.

Kunming, China
You can always trust someone to take things too far. Two Chinese high-rise window washers tie the knot. Tight.

Shanghai, China
Ever had the feeling that you made a bad career choice?

Hong Kong
Too many panes of glass, not enough cleaners.

Berlin, Germany
 For a nosey parker it's an interesting job.
