Chris asked about my framed print in the previous post. It’s this:

Doesn’t it just make your hands sweat?

I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome. I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop. For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool.    
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

I love the photo and thought it might be NYC. It is. 1932. What a time piece! Thanks for sharing.
I just love this print. I am serious — everytime I take the time to stand and just look at it, it makes my hands sweaty. I don’t think I could sit that calmly that high up in the air!

Lynn, every time I see that old photo, I feel my heart race, my hands tingle, and the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I’ not “scared” of heights, per say, they just invoke this unwanted response…
I imagine the guys are happy to have jobs and lunches. This is NYC during the great depression. I wonder about their “stories”. Where did their families immigrate from? How did they fare through the depression? I wonder….
Hannah, it has similar effects on me.
Chris, I bet you’re right, and I would also love to know their stories.

oooo it makes my stomach flip over a few times
It always makes my tummy queasy when I see that picture.
Just looking at that picture makes my stomach quiver. I am on the clutzy side–not a good combo with heights. haha
