I take SO MANY photos of this crane, which looks so dramatic with my beloved San Francisco Bay as its backdrop, especially in dramatic weather.
It turns out there is a site just devoted to appreciating this crane. Because, of course there is. This crane DESERVES to be appreciated.
The photos on the website are also quite lovely, and made with appreciation and awe.

Hunters Point gantry crane
It's 730 feet long--longer than AT&T baseball stadium, taller than the Statue of Liberty, and weighs as much as the Eiffel Tower. Built to swap gun turrets on battleships, the crane can lift over a million pounds.
