This week’s theme is way too difficult for me. I couldn’t get a picture of an hour glass. I couldn’t get a picture of glass noodles. I couldn’t think out of the box!!! Arghh…. But I have a shot of two people cleaning a tempered glass.
Tempered glass is manufactured to withstand greater than normal forces on its surface. When it breaks, it shatters into small pieces to reduce hazard. Standard on all doors and large fixed windows.

Picture taken at the Mid Valley-Gardens bridge
The reason these glasses need to be cleaned frequently is that when rainwater wets these glasses, dust will also stick to the surface of the glass. If it is not cleaned, these dust will stay on to the surface and it will also make the glass rough.
Happy Weekend (=

05|Apr|2008 2Pelfy, may I ask, what are glass noodles?
Yup, lots of glass windows to clean there, I wouldn’t be able to bear looking down if i”m there.
Have a great weekend

05|Apr|2008 6Now this is what I told Mousey. It is good to look at but when it comes to cleaning up, it’s a headache

05|Apr|2008 13The thought of glass noodles made me hungry… although it´s quite early in my part of the world :-)
Love your entry - but I´m glad I don´t have to clean the windows!
Happy Hunting!

05|Apr|2008 14That’s a tough job, and scary too! I wonder how long it takes them to clean the whole building?
Happy hunting Pelfy!

05|Apr|2008 15Nice take on a scene that we usually do not take notice. Indeed it is not an easy task and we tend to forget to appreciate these people who make buildings look nice.

05|Apr|2008 16Ya, I can imagine that the glass would become pitted from dust and sand blowing!! Great photo.
My ‘glass’ is shared, I sure hope you can find time to drop by for a visit if you haven’t already.
Happy Saturday to you, and happy hunting!!!

05|Apr|2008 19I tried to avoid window glass but you have found a wonderful take on it. Cleaning big glass is a skilled job.

06|Apr|2008 32I need those guys at my place, if they are used to large surfaces, my windows will mean nothing to them ( but it’s a huge project for me, lol)
Great take on the theme and fun picture.
Happy PH and happy weekend!
