Ankara cleaning ladies

This dangerous way of cleaning the windows was common in our neighborhood, but we didn’t allow our cleaning lady to do it. We’d rather put up with dirty windows.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Not a safe way of doing the widows unless she is tied off to something sturdy on the interior.
It is nice that you do allow your folks to take this risky chore.
