Washer without a rope...

A very brave window cleaner, at least as he does his job on one of the tallest skyscrapers in Dubai. The 50-story building is in an area called Jumeirah Beach.



















The man washes the outside of the windows of the 34th floor, without any type of protection nor rope. Simply holding one arm to the window and cleans it with his other arm, remaining suspended in the air at the risk of falling from a height that would not give refuge to any human being. But the ease with which the man do his job, it seems that this did not create many problems.
