Skywatch Friday #57 - Better Them Than Me

Typical Pacific Northwest weather day here. Gray skies and drizzle. It's been that way most of the week. What a change from just a couple of weeks ago when we were wilting under the unseasonable heat wave.

I was in Arlington around lunch time today and I saw this giant crane next to a cell phone tower. I don't know if the tower is just going up or what but I stopped to snap a few photos from a distance.

Towering Over the Tower

Then out of curiosity, I drove closer to the tower for a few more pics. I did see the guy in basket on the crane and I thought "better him than me". It wasn't until I got home and downloaded the pictures that I saw a second guy in the basket and one on the tower. No thank you, working up high is not for me.

My World Tuesday #35 - Sicklesteel

In the town of Mt. Vernon, WA, not too far from where I live, is Sicklesteel Cranes. They provide crane and lifting services all around the Puget Sound area. I've always liked their office - it looks like a crane!
