On 31 August I returned from Magdeburg in time to watch the end of day one of a huge crane being assembled on a building site across the street. Some of the below photos are from that day, and the rest from this day.
I was completely fascinated and forgot all the plans I had had for this first day of my favourite month of the year :-).
Whatever those people earn, it is not enough. And at the end of the day, I found it even more peculiar that they won’t install some kind of lift system for the crane operator, because now that I have seen – from the comfort of my own home on the sixth floor – what this dangerous, intricate and precarious task involves, I know they can do it, so it must be just a matter of will. Why do crane operators have to perform this gruelling, steep climb on a daily basis?

Despite the lovely Indian Summer kind of weather, I did not get my act together to go any further than my local LPG Supermarket via my local cemetery.
There were many Great Tits, and since they are so common, I usually don’t even think about photographing them, but they ARE cute when you stop to look at them. I also saw the Spotted Flycatcher/Grauschnäpper again (though high up this time) – actually an elegant-looking bird.
