Cranes overlooking the River Liffey at Dublin docks.
It is a large crop from another shot which I will post later. I changed the white balance in LightRoom to get away from the dismal grey clouds.

When told that climbing cranes is dangerous I often argue that if paranoid work regulations deem it safe enough for operators to reach the cabin then it's probably not that risky. This probably wouldn't apply here, and as if the obvious damage wasn't enough the ladders were covered in slippery grease/oil that leaked during the incident. One57, NYC, New York, USA
The Mare Island Naval Shipyard was the first United States Navy base established on the Pacific Ocean (1849). It is located 25 miles northeast of San Francisco in Vallejo, California. The Napa River goes through the Mare Island Strait and separates the peninsula shipyard (Mare Island, California) from the main portion of the city of Vallejo. The shipyard made a name for itself as the premier US West Coast submarine port as well as serving as the controlling force in San Francisco Bay Area shipbuilding efforts during World War II. The base closed in 1996 and has gone through several redevelopment phases. It was registered as a California Historical Landmark in 1960 and parts of it were declared a National Historic Landmark District in 1975.
There is also the Whirley Crane, so-called because the turret is capable of rotating 360 degrees. Now, it often hosts osprey nesting.
A Friend explained why the Cranes were so far away this year.. AS the Cranes land in the field, they land in the back, furthest away. AS more and more land, they land closer and closer to the road. Because many had already left, and there were fewer cranes, None of them had to land closer.

I coined a new species of crane, the Great Blue Crane, for the title of this image. I guess the one on the right could be the Yellow-Throated Crane.
(I think these are really what we call cherry pickers, but it's the closest I have to a photo of a crane.)
