2014 Photo Journal - Day 80 - Big Crane




Unlike Lucy, I put up more than one photo! Plus, this was another yesterday photo, but I did so much and saw so much, just had to include it in my photo journal. This is a large crane working in a mine in East Texas. I wish I had some gauge for you to understand just how large it was. If you enlarge the first photo, you will see another work vehicle which is about the size of our pickup truck. The second photo shows the bucket and it was larger than my pickup truck. Not something we see here in Central Texas at all.

  3. Gosh, mining uses such incredibly big sized equipment. I wouldn't've have believed how big the crane was without that vehicle in the first photo with it! Open cast mining?

  4. Wow this looks impressive. I can imagine how big it is after your explanation of the truck.

    well sometimes it is better to post more pictures. I try to place the picture of the day...... Maybe I have to break the rule so now and then too ;-)

  5. Wow! It sure makes a difference when there is something for scale in a photo - I would never have thought that crane was so big!
