The Crane

When I stopped by the Viewpoint just now, there was nobody there--until an acquaintance of mine came along on a bicycle, stopping for a second, and then going on. There was a vaguely blue cast to the light, with a certain amount of haze in the distance. More leaves have come down from the Sentinel and the other trees, and it's even clearer that fall is past its prime. In just a few days, it will be Halloween, and then the typically rainy month of November will be upon us.

The one thing out of the ordinary that I noticed today was a crane jutting up into the sky around Hunter's Point, but on the other side of Union Bay, south of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge. It's funny how from one place only yards long, you can see so much territory and observe the effects of so many human actions.
