Last Sunday as I made my way to an early morning photo shoot, I saw blue police lights flashing in the dark. The square that I typically pass through was blocked off to vehicular traffic. Police and construction workers were all over the place. Finally, I saw a man with a tripod and video camera; one of my kind.
“What’s up?”, I asked.
“They’re replacing HVAC units on the tops of two of the buildings here. It’s too high up for regular cranes, so they are bringing in a helicopter to do the lift.”
“Any chance I could stick around and make photos?”
“You don’t want to. It’s full-on protective gear. Hard hat, goggles, and ear protection. When that helicopter comes in, a lot of things will start flying around?
My planned shoot was nearby, so I went and made the images I wanted. A little after 7:00, I heard the helicopter come in. I made these images from just outside the area the police closed off.
You can see video of it lowering an HVAC unit here.
your very own mini adventure! xxo
Thanks. It was a good adventure. Cheers
on your adventures if you ever see a yoda, please capture for me =^_^=
If I ever see a yoda, I will definitely make an image for you. Cheers. 🐈
Right time, right place! By the way, the video link is not about HVAC lowering.
Thank you. It was luck. Oh! So what are they lowering?
Wow!!😀
Funny, that’s what I said. 😉
🙂 Yes…overdoing it isn’t it or maybe it was the best solution. HaHa! I hope in our sky scrapers here, they will not resort to helicopters to install HVAC. Here our architects and engineers will be literally hauled up for sure! Happy Sunday!
Wow, it doesn’t happen all the time and you were there! 🙂
This is true. It was pretty cool. Cheers
Good post. Have a wonderful weekend.
Even from the distance, you managed to capture the monster 🙂
I was lucky to arrive when I did to get this image. Cheers
Wonderful capture! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, My pleasure. Cheers
Right place at the right time! Nice shots.
Thanks Teri. This was a good one to catch. Cheers
Wow! So cool! Like something out of an action movie. And awesome shots! Cheers! 😄
Thanks Sarah. It was quite the find. I’m not sure when I would see that again. Cheers
Great shots Chris!
Thank you, Sohair. Chers!
No protective gear then? 😉 Great shots, and some photographer’s luck 🙂
Thank you. I have all of that gear at the house but didn’t have it with me. 🤓
