Digital art; a view from a skyscraper construction site, a workman sits on the steel girder and concrete slab corner edge of an unfinished building; he is pouring steaming coffee into the cup top from his old fashioned thermos, his work tool belt and hard hat have been set aside; below him the city stretches out in a vertiginous view; by Jarosław Jaśnikowski, Liam Wong, and François Schuiten
Break time is so welcome when your labor is physical. I ran a greenhouse and research-field planting for 35 years, which I loved, but the breaks were really great. And because I lived on site, the coffee was always really good!
I was inspired to try this by that staged black-and-white photograph, Lunch atop a Skyscraper, taken on September 20, 1932. It has eleven ironworkers sitting on a steel beam of the RCA Building, 850 feet (260 meters) above the ground during the construction of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, New York City. You can see the photograph and learn more about it at Wikipedia:
