I didn't expect to see so much construction going on in the downtown area. I could see construction cranes in every direction. This one to the left really fascinated me. Look how high it is. That makes me wonder just how tall that building is going to be.
I zoomed in on the crane operator cabin. Just imagine working from way up there in a box hanging off the side that steel tower. That is not a job for me! With employment at an all-time low and the economy in a free-fall, it seemed strange to see all this construction going on.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. Remember all those slides I found recently and scanned? My post today is about Bruges Belgium a place I'd love to return to some day. I'm so glad I found those photos!
Must feel scary to work so high up there! Nothing for me...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to work at those heights either. Something big is coming up! I also see a lot of construction starting up here in Perth.
ReplyDeleteWith work from home, working well for so many people, I wonder what the future holds for office buildings
ReplyDeleteReminds of what is going on here. They are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteConstruction is going crazy here too, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteWe had a similar large crane collapse here in London several weeks ago. Destroyed a house and killed a woman!
ReplyDeleteLends new meaning to the idea of working remotely. :-)
ReplyDeleteWon't see me up that high, it would be scary.
ReplyDeleteProbably easier to do construction without so many people about.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a huge crane! There was a fatal crane accident in Seattle last year -- shortcuts taken on a windy day as a crane was taken down. I know they're a great help but I'm uncomfortable driving under them.
ReplyDeletePeople have got to be so brave going up that high, I couldn't.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of work happening here too.
