Atlanta’s Crane Watch 2015

Thursday, November 19, 2015

The skyline of downtown Atlanta, near 14th and Spring streets, is dotted with heavy machinery. For the past few months giant cranes have filled the spaces in between buildings helping to raise the numerous construction projects that are currently underway into the air. It seems a little overkill but within a 10 block radius there are nearly 20 cranes. So it seemed appropriate that Curbed Atlanta had me put together a small gallery documenting such a crazy sight!
