I like your Santa fe color flowers.
Did you use a filter to create the blue background?

This Grove GMK7550 came in to lift a transformer off the roof and place a new one up there. It took twenty support trucks (including one small crane.) The jib allows a full extension of 430 feet. In this case it was used to place the transformer on the roof 240 feet from the crane. The crane is set-up with the full 176 ton counterweight for this lift. The GMK7550 arrived on a Thursday afternoon, was set up for the lift on Friday, made the lift on Saturday and was disassembled and driven out on Sunday. Cost for this job: <$100,000.00.
In the past we hired a helicopter for this lift, but the last time a gust blew the helicopter off course. The helicopter blew over a fence and sent a bunch of other stuff flying. It was a mess. The copter cost less but the destruction cost more than the crane charge.

That Spanish sidewalk would be fun to ride on a unicycle.

I think the key to the walk is the support wire on the left side that you clip your harness and rope onto. You fall all you do is dangle, which gives you the confidence to handle the height. I'd do it as long as my beer count wasn't over 7.

John the farmer was in the fertilized-egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets", and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.
The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, and a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
But to Farmer John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result... the judges not only awarded old Butch the 'No-Bell Piece Prize' but they awarded him the 'Pullet Surprise' as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making: who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
