The harbour of hamburg changed in the last two decades in a very modern container facility. But sometimes you can find little, isolated areas where the old times are visible yet. This is a little dockside crane used up to the 80's to load piece goods from small ships to land. It's some of the last ones of an dozend cranes standing here. Now it is out of service and corroding to fade away. I had to climb over the bulkhead and fight against ugly gooseberrys but i think it was worth this little adventure to do it.

nice, a crane is difficult to view because the dimensions are large

I like the scene, and the perspective of lateral fences. It looks something away for corroding appreciate you mention.

Great work. you perfectly draw the attention to the golden spot on the middle of the crane. the perspective from deeper than usual is interesting. and the clouds are dramatical.

Nice ominous sky. Shame that such machinery is rendered inoperative.

nice & clean, something doesn't look right where the yellow arm connects to the main upright. The background between the ladder steps & main upright looks too white, no cloud definition.
