A little more left,

He's as-builting a castle. Notice the stone wall behind him. Not a cliff, but a tower or some such thing.

I just noticed that this morning when looking at the photo again. Now I'm wondering where the person with the camera is perched (keep/tower wall?) and how stable it is.

Here's a link to an image of the castle.

I think the area in question is in the lower middle of the photo. You can see the broken wall to the right, and a grass covered area.

Huh - I guess I will have to brush up on scanner technology. I thought that this kind of work is what they are for. Also would have thought that Trimble marketed one...

Are some folks still bothered by hair length?
Is it 2017 or 1967?

Damn right! Average age of surveyor is 50 something, so we are, and tend to be a conservative bunch old farts! ;). We typically left the long hair in the 70's and went to flannels and Kakis in the 80's. True story, I was working for survey firm in southern California which had lots of work in the 90's. Young guy stops one day on the work site and announces he is a surveyor looking for work. I told him to send in a resume. He replied with, no, he really wants a job, how do I get on with you all? I said well, we are always looking for good men so you could start by cutting your hair and losing the jewelry and ask again. He replied with "oh, youƒ??re that kind of company". I said yes, and we have the work :). Jp

GOOD!

Stake it. 10 off SSMH, face it to your left.

I think that point should be RTK'd, and his rod plumbed!

I thought RTK didn't care if the rod was level?

Selfie stick, my guess.

That terrain looks pretty steep and heavily wooded on the other side of that wall.

That's a good catch.

Worked for a firm in the 80's and we were putting together a proposal to survey the old Spanish fort "El Morro" in old San Juan. Besides terrestrial photogrammetry, the plan included rappelling down some walls in suspected structural weak areas taking TS shots to a prism. I believe that POB magazine did an article about the project back then.
