Fancy yourself a dare-devil, willing to take a risk for an iconic picture? Well, now you don’t have to be a real dare-devil, as the image above shows.
At Rockefeller Center, in New York, there’s a new attraction at the Top of the Rock observation deck—an opportunity to risklessly replicate the famous 1932 photo of eleven construction workers eating lunch on a beam high over the city. The original, by an unknown photographer, appeared in the New York Herald-Tribune.
Visitors to Top of the Rock, of course, won’t be suspended over the city; they are actually riding a beam mounted on a column that raises them 12 feet in the air and rotates to allow them best views out over the city while their pictures are taken.
