It's all about my travel experience and things I love to do…
Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam – 1932
Remember this package from down under?
So this is what’s inside…
I was in Aussie a long time ago, and I remember passing by this picture and uttered to my friend that I like this picture very much. After saying that, I got this coming to my doorstep few weeks later.

Well, this happened a long time ago. Not recently, but I finally decided to open it up when I was in Klang two weekends ago and bring it to my apartment to fill the empty wall…
The name for this picture is “Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam – 1932″
This iconic photo is one of the most famous images ever shot. Construction workers take a break from their work on the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center in New York to have lunch atop a steel beam 800 feet above ground. The photo was taken Sept. 29, 1932.

This pictures gives me a nice feeling. See how the workers taking their break at such a height back then without even a safety equipment looking all jolly and relax? I just like this picture and it was love at first sight.
Looks like BMW got a companion now, right opposite from each other…
