Hi Douglas,

His airplane presents an unusual situation at this airport, since it 
sits on amphibious floats, placing the wings, and fuel tanks, at an 
unusual elevation.  I feel sure that, if he had asked for help, rather 
than accepting "Self Service" in its simplest meaning, someone would 
have found a taller ladder.

Glad you like the image.
