This Dutch 'gymnast' is making full use of the apparatus to reach the pointy bit at the top of the gable end

Erik Vos from Bobeldijk in the Netherlands took this picture of his neighbour repainting his house.

"Last weekend, I was surprised on how he was making full use of the scaffolding he had in order to reach the top of the roof. Naturally, I went and warned him but only after taking this picture for the web site."

If any readers knows the name of the decorative feature atop the gable, please let us know below.
