For miles all around these two blue giraffe like structures dominate the landscape.

As a child, cranes were all about building things and for a long while, just seen from a distance, I was puzzled why nothing seemed to grow taller around any of the Outer Harbour cranes What where they building?

Eventually I ventured close enough to see what was really going on, giant blue giraffes grazing on shipping containers.

Actually, they’re Irish giraffes but that’s another story…
