“But cranes are involved”

Brian Micklethwait featured some crane photos on his blog this week, of which this is, for me, the pick of the bunch.

As Brian states:

A bit of a cheat, because not really a crane picture.  It’s really Battersea Power Station with sun setting behind it.  But cranes are involved.

Also featured is a photo of the replacement crane for the one which was hit by a helicopter back in January.

12 minute exposure

Not me in the sun today, although 90 minutes of football in the merciless African heat did sap my energy somewhat. A relaxing braai this afternoon has left me with very little time, so here’s a photo I’ve wanted to share for quite a while:

This is from Sheffield photographer Dan Arkle and features Stanage Edge, which we’ve featured before. For this shot, Dan popped his camera on a 12 minute exposure and climbed up and down the edge while wearing a headlamp.

Dan has plenty of other great shots of Sheffield and surrounds on his site, which is well worth a visit.
