As a kid I was always interested in how things were built. I liked taking apart my toys, I liked watching construction vehicles moving around dirt, wood and metal and I always liked the "Picture Picture" on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
For these reasons, I've been really enjoying my ride to work every morning down 3rd St. Almost the whole length of the street has some kind of construction going on. Here's a few shots of cranes I took the other day:
In the first shot, they are still putting together the crane, and they are sending a basket of people up to the top to help get things connected.
[いいですね] Nice view! Really enjoyable path to work :)
Sometimes I like construction view in twilight time or night time too. They light up the site for safe. It's not like christmas tree but I think it's so beautiful, isn't it?.
A river running at the back of my house and our cutcherry does riverbank reinforcement project yearly at least, by the way. They started it last week. They put out strange yellow delta flags behind the bridge, and two flotage cranes towering now. It's pretty much interesting view (like your photos) and I tried to took some picture last week but...um, as you know my cellular's camera, the quality was so poor and it very disappointed me. Well, I'm enjoying my walk to work everyday too!

Oh bummer: Comments don't accept photos. At least the link to Flickr works.

Cool! That looks like an interesting thing to watch go up. The stuff around me is a lot smaller scale, but the good thing is that I can always watch from the ground!
