Many of you complained about our nighttime pictures from the top of the crane because the quality wasn’t so good. Hey, what can you expect with a bunch of hoodlums? We’ve had an official member of the construction site provide us with some of the sweetest pictures from the top of the crane. He said we had a better chance of winning the lottery than getting to the top, but provided these pictures instead.
Also, he reminds you that the crane is very dangerous, so don’t try to climb to the top! The first picture in the slideshow is of 560 ft VA Beach Behemoth which would tower over our little 160 ft baby beast. The rest are from Charlottesville’s Landmark Hotel Construction Site!
Pictures after the break…

We got an email from someone who didn’t like us posting pictures of someone crawling to the top of the downtown mall crane. It read:
The nighttime pictures from the top of the tower crane in C-Ville are a disservice to the community.
The pictures only invite others to try the same thing…[personally identifiable information redacted] I find your posting of the pictures irresponsible.
Will you be as quick to post the pictures of someone who falls to their death trying to copy the stunt ?
We obviously don’t want to make you guys mad, so stuff like this is your call…
Should we have posted pictures from the top of the crane?

Ever wonder what it’s like to climb to the top of the giant crane on the Downtown Mall? Apparantly one of our birdies knows exactly what it’s like.
We have no idea who climbed to the top of this thing and don’t suggest you do it, but we do have a bunch of pictures you probably are curious to view.
