| I have been following the hi-rise construction since day one. Yesterday this crawler mobile crane showed up. A kid on the street said it looked like a transformer. __ |
 |
| The condo is 19 stories high but the mobile is able to reach higher. __ |
 |
| Once it is no longer needed, the tower crane is dismantled section by section and removed. __ |
 |
| Job completed! There is still a massive amount of work to be done on the interior. |
Love that first photo. Great standpoint, great angle, great view. Well done Andy.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice description of that kid, it looks like coming out of space.
ReplyDeleteup,up and away.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what mankind can do to change the landscape.
ReplyDeleteOuch the first one gives you neck ache
ReplyDeletediagonal of the first photo is so powerful. he, he, that's what I do in my neighborhood: follow new constructions day by day (doing my regular walks around the block).
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice looking building. Those cranes are amazing to watch.
ReplyDeletedizzying view from below. I find the planning and execution of these builds to be fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThat is massive. We sometimes see them on the streets here when they need to place something up on an office tower, and then they'll be doing that on a weekend when closing a street section is easier done.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed watching, through your lens, this condo taking shape.
ReplyDeleteThat is one big mobile crane! Must have been interesting to watch.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Andy!
ReplyDeleteThose cranes are amazing. Very nice photos!
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't pay me enough to be a big machinery operator. Those jobs are so scary to me. But you can surely find them to share with us. It was interesting to read about how once the crew has completed its work with the "bigun" they dismantle it and move on. I think the first shot looks like an alien man taking flight.Have a nice week. Genie
ReplyDeleteFIne photo documentary of the process of removing the crane from the top of that building. That mobile crane is impressive. You have answered the question, "How's that done?"
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great structure to capture as it progresses. Did you hear about the crane that fell onto the tappenzee bridge today??? Be careful out there with your camera!!!!
