ACTION: Throw Icicles Down

Warsaw, Poland

After several weeks of freezing temperatures and sometimes sunny days, very big and dangerous icicles developped under the roofs.
Today a man has been lifted up there with a flame-thrower and a crowbar to clean the roofs and to throw the icicles down.

Thats the trouble with slanted roofs, they should install those roof hooks!

It helps to keep the gutters from breaking too! Very interesting shot!

Wonderful capture Jola !! This is something new to me, I realize now how dangerous they can be !

Perfect timing, never thought of them as a major danger, probably because we don't get such big ones round here.

Great image, I just take a bat to the ones on my house but once in a while it costs me a gutter.
