Good morning. 🏗️🏗️🏗️
30 July 2026
When you look at this picture, does anyone else immediately think “Imperial Walkers?” The cranes have that same looming, mechanical posture — like they’re about to start marching.
Turning to Star Trek — back when I was still working, I had a coworker I’d tease, in the friendliest way possible, about being a Trekkie. He wasn’t one, but I kept nudging the joke along because it amused both of us. I don’t even remember how it started; it just became part of the daily rhythm.
At one point, I printed a Starfleet Academy diploma I found online, put his name on it, and hung it on his wall. It took him weeks to notice, but once he did, he kept it.
Eventually, I found the perfect way to finish the bit. I came across a Star Trek uniform shirt for sale, bought it, and had my wife embroider his name on it. Then I hung it above his desk like it was his official Starfleet assignment. Honestly, it’s probably still there.
Why go through all that trouble? Because that’s how you build camaraderie — the small, shared jokes that make people feel like they’re part of something together. I had other running gags with other folks, but this one was the clearest example. Not everyone enjoys a little ribbing or a harmless prank, but that’s life. The people who do? They remember it.
“The only way to have a friend is to be one.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.” - G.K. Chesterton
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” - Henry Ford

Backlight Cranes: attempt nr. 1
You want to get a shot of a nice lovely village, landscape, city and just that one awesome shot is disrupted by cranes!!! 😆 How many times I got annoyed, because the nice shot would have become ...not as good! So, rather than being annoyed with cranes every other day, why not photographing them?!?! Make them be the metallic VIP photo element. Here's my 1st attempt 🤭 .

Another big boat in Leith.
For a sense of scale, observe the light house in the first few shots, and perhaps the people under the yellow hook on the deck, in the later shots.
This is the Seaway Alfa Lift, and it’s picking up bits of wind turbine to be delivered to the new Inch Cape wind farm.

#war at first, is the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.
-Karl Kraus, writer (28 Apr 1874-1936)
