When does uneven become perilous?

A ladder in a brightly lit store that is being renovated but could easily be mistaken for a display in a swanky emporia de ladder.

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right) 
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy? 
What the hammer that hath hewn it 
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee, 
Or an external franchisee?

A deserted carpark, level 5.  Two hi-vis workers are at the top of step ladders, working on things in the ceiling.  You can only see the ladder and their legs.

This is the official theatrical release poster for the 1980 space opera film "Battle Beyond the Stars." The artwork features a massive, organic-looking spaceship (the hero's ship, Nell) at the top, along with various other spacecraft. Below are portraits of the main human characters, as well as several of the unique alien mercenaries they recruit.

Yes, Star Trek Day... but today is also the 45th anniversary of Battle Beyond the Stars!

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

A white van and a ladder.  Work is going to happen.  There's just no telling exactly when.  But when it does, it's gonna get real.

An arty photo (at a slant) of a yellow and blue step ladder cordoned of by red and white tape.  Back off! No one is allowed near this ladder - it's special.

An approximately 3 metre long wooden ladder, basking in spring sunshine.  It was a simpler time in the past when everything was between 0 and 3.5m above the earth's surface.
