New Brighton Pier repairs. All of the scaffolding is hanging off the pier, which is a health and safety nightmare.
Baling hay on a balmy June afternoon at Staple Park Farm in deepest, darkest Somerset.
Special thanks to Andrew for allowing me to dart between the tractors in order to get this shot.
Cogitur (Latin): "It is assembled / compelled into shape")
(EN) Steel meets sky over Ibi. A tower crane sweeps its diagonal ambition across a cotton-wool afternoon while workers on a cherry picker attend to the emerging skeleton of what will become an extension to AIJU — the toy and childhood innovation centre, part-funded by the European Commission.
The rebar stubs reach upward like unfinished sentences; the structural steel frames an architecture that exists, for now, only as geometry and intention. Cumulus clouds oblige with the drama.

Acero y cielo sobre Ibi. Una grúa torre traza su diagonal ambiciosa sobre una tarde de nubes de algodón, mientras operarios en plataforma elevadora atienden el esqueleto emergente de la futura ampliación del AIJU — el centro de innovación del juguete y la infancia, cofinanciado por la Comisión Europea.
Los espigos de armadura apuntan hacia arriba como frases inacabadas; la estructura metálica perfila una arquitectura que existe, por ahora, sólo como geometría e intención. Los cúmulos hacen lo propio con su dramatismo.

A striking low-angle perspective capturing the massive scale of urban development. A towering red and yellow construction crane reaches up toward a moody, overcast sky, sharply juxtaposed against the heavy, brutalist texture of a massive concrete overpass on the right. This dramatic framing highlights the relentless pace of infrastructure growth and the towering giants of concrete and steel shaping the city's future.
TVC Cherry Capital Airport, Traverse City, Michigan. We attempted to leave the North, we had to wait for the blizzard to calm down. Our trip was delayed 27 hours due to adverse conditions, not uncommon in this part of the world.
Herzog maintenance-of-way equipment on a recently cleared section of once unused railway. This car pulls a flatbed car loaded with other machines to maintain and repair tracks. In this case, the repairs involved replacing the worn ties.
Continuing this week's tractor/dump truck theme, this is the motion-blurred treads of a tractor speeding across the sand.

LTM 1250-5.1 - The most powerful 5-axle crane on the market!
The LTM 1250-5.1 features enormous load capacities. Our designers had a clear concept to follow in the development of this crane – to get the maximum lifting capacity from the available weight of a 5-axle mobile crane! The result is that the LTM 1250-5.1 is now the most powerful crane on five axles in the world. VarioBallast® enables it to deliver maximum lifting capacities with a large ballast radius, making it perfect for use on constricted sites with a small ballast radius. And it achieves this by quickly adjusting the ballast in seconds. The crane can be fitted with a multi-functional folding jib, a long lowering fixed jib or a rigid powerful jib. Our proven VarioBase®, ECOmode and ECOdrive technologies make the LTM 1250-5.1 particularly safe and efficient.

My neighbour I thought was going to be one of the first to be rebuilt in the area after being damaged in the 22 February 2011 earthquake, but the builders have knocked it down and not returned yet.
Thanks for taking the time to view my image. Your comments, faves & constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.
Not exactly my usual kind of subject but I'm really enjoying using the 12mm wide angle lens at the moment and looking for objects/scenes where I can utilize the creative options that a wide angle lens offers.
