crane

Cranes are an important part of the skyline of Vienna.

One might think they're standing there just for our pleasure to watch, but I suppose they're set up for some reason, and most of the times you'll find that these construction cranes actually do stand at a construction site:

This one here in Klimtgasse in the Viennese district of Meidling goes well together with the two huts, though a reason for this crane standing there I couldn't see. (It might be hidden behind the wooden fence.)

By the way, a crane like this was felled yesterday by Emma, a crane standing on Südbahnhof, the most important railway station of the town. But this one obviously has survived, or else it would have been in the news.
