Just looking at the images, he knew this was really dangerous. At first, I thought maybe he was just walking on the roof and fell through. But that's not the case. 6D, Σ15 FE, 17mm TS-E, 24-105, 70-300L, 40mm 2.8, 85mm 1.8, 100L, 600EX-RT, Kenko 2X MC4, Kenko Tubes

Better to have more manpower than you need than not have enough and have to wait. Rob
