Yesterday downtown this giant crane was blocking the street. I waited to see why, and in a few moments workers appeared on top of the building to attach a large desk to cables and lower it to the van below. This may be a common site in some larger world cities, but moving furniture this way here is a novelty. My only question was why this particular ordinary-looking desk, for it didn't look worth the money or trouble to move it. And I wonder how they originally got it in--the same way?Sunday, May 25, 2008
Look out below!

YANKEE IN NICE
Edit: pastis is a licorice-flavored alcoholic drinksimilar to Greek ouzo. My favorite drink as it is for many people in this area. No more ...

You are right! That is a very expensive way to move some furniture. Maybe the desk has some historical significance?
Thanks for the visit to my blog. You are a woman of wide interests. Thanks so much for the turtle ID and background on these. I would never have guessed that these are the same kind you buy in the pet store.
At first "Louis" thought the use of the crane might be for a stunt or for a film. Apparently not. Interesting shot because of the way it makes one ponder the purpose! :-)
I have a friend who recently moved into a flat and she needed one of those cranes. She has a piano and they had to remove the window to put the piano in and then put the window back...
I know...unbelievable!
Perhaps there was more to come... who knows...
