A pretty sunrise brings work and industry
But these cranes were not active
The rumble to which I awoke was this itinerant Sikorsky S-64 "Skycrane"
Flying among the buildings and in the canyons of the City
It hoisted old from buildings to trucks on the ground and the new from the ground up again
Here we see SPX Cooling Technologies' Marley cooling towers being lifted into place.
Yet, air traffic like the wind never stands still
Down to a parking lot the 'chopper hovers until it looks like a comically misguided and aborted landing before it expertly departs on its way to the next airlift
Free of hoists and cables away the "bird" flies
