Chernobyl Crane Assembly

During our 2018 Chernobyl trip, we explored the city of Pripyat, Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plants and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.  In the Exclusion Zone, we came upon this waterfront crane which was used to load and unload ships.  The entire crane is cool, but I focused my time capturing smaller sections of it to highlight the details.

Pripyat River Crane

Today’s post is another photo from our Chernobyl trip.  I took this photo along the Pripyat River of an abandoned river loading winch.  As you can see, it is starting to fall into the river.  We happened to be here early in the morning at a beautiful time.

Chernobyl Cranes

I flew my drone a long way down the Pripyat River to capture this photo.  I honestly don’t remember the distance, but I can tell you it was far enough that I got nervous.  My drone was losing reception and acting weird.  When it started to fly back to me, I started to feel better again.   Thankfully, I captured this photo before it started acting up.

These cranes are abandoned on the river a short distance from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.

CRANE FRONT - Fantasy Football Website

Tonight’s photo is the front view of an old semi-abandoned crane along the river in Pittsburgh.  I say semi-abandoned because they clearly haven’t used this crane in years and have no plans to use it again in the future.  But the concrete business is still active and they drive vehicles under this crane every day.  I took this photo while on a photo walk with Dave and Brad last weekend.

I know we are months and months away from any real meaningful football, but I thought I would share this website with you.  They featured/used one of my Robert Griffin III (RG3) photos on their website (look below).    How cool is that????
