I spend most of my time hunched over excel and power point files, but


Friday was Worker's Day, which is a holiday for us. However, we had one of the contractor's ships that lays pipe offshore in the local dock, so we took some of the guys that I work with out to see it.

In terms of size, the crane is a little less than half of the size of the world's biggest, but there's only a handful bigger than it is. You can see the person on the first level, which rotates on a turret. The crane operator sits a little higher up.

The size of the crane is staggering! Can't imagine how much weight counterbalances it.
