Sick Crane

[lostcarpark]

This morning I took a photo of the crane that's been buggering up the trains...



The new camera is wirking great, though the light isn't great today.

The crane, on the other hand, is dangling precariously, right next to the train line and over house of local residents who have been put up in hotels the past couple of nights. Apparently it can't be removed because the wind is too strong (I wonder what North Sea oil riggers would have to say about that), and the disruption could continue for several days.

Here's another picture, with its brothers all standing to attention, silently mourning the loss of their fallen comrade:

I am reminded of the Pele advert where he starts talking about "Erection problems".

Great photo of the skyline. That's going straight onto my desktop, if you don't mind!

You're more than welcome to use it. I can send you the original uncropped version (2046x1536) if you want it, though it's about 600K.

It's about to take a bow! I always knew they went dancing at night when nobody was around.

And, is that as close to my apartment building as it seems to be?

Not far - right beside the train line, just south of Grand Canal Dock.
