"Lunch atop a Skyscraper" (New York Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam) is a famous black-and-white photograph taken during construction of the RCA Building (renamed the GE Building in 1988) at Rockefeller Center in New York City, United States.  In this case I have digitally retouched the image ( taking off the workers and adding a scanned watercolor texture )
