The Gantry

I just love this bridge project! Can't get enough of it! The yellow gantry is such an astounding piece of hardware. It moves over time, very gradually, all the way from one side of the harbor to the other as its support structure moves from pier to pier. It is so difficult to give a sense of how huge this thing is. I spent about 45 minutes in the rain and mist trying different views of this. This photograph looks the most ordinary of all the images I shot, and yet it probably gives the best sense of how long the structure is. It dwarfs all the buildings on this street.
