Not my picture, just my edit! by homeschoolmom

Not my picture, just my edit!

For Rawcomp21, I chose to slightly crop the picture. I wanted to emphasize the crazy way the crane or red boom arm (not sure what that is) is stretched across the maze of electrical lines above the construction sight.
You´re right, really stretched !!!! It´s a concrete pump arm.

@mauriciorodriguez As Mauricio has said, its a concrete pump arm, pumping cement out of to the building [not as you might think, just about tosuck the brains out of the poor chap in the orange and white jumper :)
Its a bit of an optical illusion, the boom is behind all the electrical wiring and tram wires, though still dangerous!

@mauriciorodriguez @archielogical It's something you don't see everyday, that's for sure. I like this picture. I would have taken a picture of this scene, too.

I hope it doesn't touch the power lines

@digitalrn I know. Kinda scary!

That could be a disaster waiting to happen. Scary

I really like that red arm stretching!

@ceilidh @stimuloog That's why I emphasized the arm. Seemed rather precarious to me!

Being married into a family that is very familiar with construction I knew that arm couldn't possibly be stretched over the wires, but the optical illusion that it is gives more drama to the shot! Construction work in the city is certainly a challenge. Your crop brings the difficulty of the task out really well.
