Ladders waiting for climbers. Mountains waiting to be scaled. There are new heights to be reached every day. Who dares go?
@Sriram: LOL. Imagine if you had to climb them all. Glad you came by.
@Myst: Much appreciation for your word of encouragement today. Blessings.
@ColNed Pictures: Grateful for your visit, and for your comments.

ey up, but which ladder do you choose to climb today, good shot with good idea

@Richard_Irwin: Thanks. I guess it's strictly "ladder du jour" time, eh?
@Anup: Thanks for the encouragement.
@Jen: Gosh! How nice -- thank you.
@Hamid: Much appreciation for your comments, my friend.
@Daniel: Thank you. Yes, a lot of ladders -- but they had done a week's good work.

Wait...hows the song go? Climb every mountain, de, de, de.
I like it Viewfinder. Onward and "upward".

@Rebel Streetshooter: Thanks, Reb. Plus in your comment, you've added a few new musical and proverbial additions, which I think help enhance the image. Heh-heh.
Dawn Sutherland from Phoenix, United States
Great message paired with a very interesting photo. Besides being in Home Depot or Lowes I don't think I have ever seen that many ladders in one place. Are they yours?
13 Jul 2007 2:23pm
@Dawn Sutherland: Thank you for the good words. As for all these ladders: well, it was the end of a mission work camp at our church and these had all been borrowed from folks and were waiting to be picked up by their owners.
Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Interesting shot!!! :-) Have a great weekend pal.

@newbie: Thank you, Newbie.

hey Viewfinder--sent a shiver down my spine this one--it's friday the 13th and for us Brit boys it's an unlucky day--and walking under a ladder is a no go area--and look at all those babies!!--billy

@bronzebilly u.k.: Whoa! Billy, I hadn't even thought about today being Friday the 13th. LOL. I could have really had fun with a "walk under these" kind of challenge to all us AM3ers. Glad you were sharp enough to spot the oversight. Oh, and stay away from black cats today, too. Blessings.
Susankritha from Montreal. QC, Canada
Very interesting snap and nice descirption too!! :)

@Susankritha: Your interest is much appreciated. Glad you stopped by. Have a great weekend.
Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
Why is this so funny? I don't know - it's like a crowd of ladders waiting for a bus... Nice sense of whimsy.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
LOL. You think it's a bus they're waiting for? That is really funny. Happy Friday to ya!

Bron from Canberra, Australia
Love the ladders Viewfinder! Nice angles and colours :)

@Bron: Nice of you.
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
These are borrowed. Not so much a graveyard as a holding place until their owners pick them up. But I can see why one might wonder...
