What better for B&W than a sweep.
Good ones, Dragonstar! With your complete sequence, it's sure to be a clean sweep. :)
That's really neat. I've never seen a chimney sweep actually working.
Chimney sweeps are very good luck.
Interesting series of shots :-)
Is that a real chimney sweep? I honestly don't think I've seen one before. These are terrific present day, but retro images.
Great pictures but shouldn't he have a high top hat?
Now you can face the winter with a clean chimney! Interesting series. Thanks for posting them.
Interesting,Thanks for sharing as we don't have chimney in most houses in Malaysia (Tropical country).Thanks also for droping by my MM.
No need for black and white film when photographing a chimney sweep! Great series.
The chimney sweep - haven't seen one in years.
Santa will, be OK for his visit to that house now.

Verrry cool. A b&w of a mostly b&w business. And who can forget the magic of the chimney sweeper (Bert) in Mary Poppins with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke?
What a perfect subject .. and I like the neat tie into Odd Shots
:-Daryl
Nothing to add than what I've written on Odd Shot. Perfect and Excellent. What an opportunity!
That must have been something else to see. These are great shots. I'm glad he didn't fall.
Lovely photos - I havent seen a chimney sweep on a roof like that in over 30 years.
My first reaction was "Now there's a job I wouldn't want!" But then again, aside from getting a little grimy, it wouldn't be a horrible way to make a living.
Assuming you can actually make a living at it that is.
I just watched Mary Poppins again yesterday and now I have that chimney sweep song stuck in my head again! LOL!
