Amazing to see them dig the pit with picks and shovels.

Mustapha, Nice photo! From all the scaffolding it looks like the Ryerson SLC site. Great place to get photos. Nice to see you are a fan of black&white photos also.

Ah, photos by Jack Landau; a photographer whose work I truly admire.

October at Union Station. This is always a great stop for photos of crew hard at work.

Rigger at L Tower sets a crate of windows for the lift. I hope these actually appear on here in sequence.

Great idea for a theme - thanks Edward.
I particularly love watching steelworkers, although they seem to be less visible these days.

Probably because you can't see through the walls of the mills. Steelworkers work in steel mills to produce steel, ironworkers are the ones climbing around on the structures.

An honest mistake, as evidenced in this article on one of the most famous construction worker photograph of all time:
