The cranes float past Alcatraz Island
On the 24th of October,
2000, I got on my bike and went looking for cranes.
I wasn't disappointed.
This was the day the ship carrying four giant cranes from China was scheduled
to arrive at the Golden Gate. Actually, it was due to a weather-related
delay that I wasn't disappointed. The cranes had originally been
scheduled to pass under the Golden Gate Bridge around 5:30 am.
But I was able to catch them at a much more convenient time in the late
afternoon...and in the daylight.
Before reaching Alcatraz,
the cranes slowly -- very slowly -- approached
the Golden Gate
from the west. And I was ready for them...
