And when you've finished that you can start on the rest of the roof

Two poor blokes out in the rain with a bucket and brush

The roof belongs to the Barrage Vauban in Strasbourg. The building in the background used to be the women's prison but now houses the Ecole Nationale de l'Administration, the elite school that trains most of France's politicians. It's a shame they let them out when they finish their terms.

Hopefully they only have the one repair to do! When looking at the Google Earth image, you can see what looks like a couple people in the same position that these guys are.

Quite an odd building

Well caught, John. An interesting shot - especially with the explanation from you of what we're seeing.

Some kind of wonderful irony in the re-purposing of that building. ;-)

After all, it only leaks when it rains! :)

This way it will take some weeks.

Interest building. They need a bigger brush.
