I can't explain it but it's true. Nothing that has bothered us. If anything, the minimal noise tells me when I need to go get my camera and shoot something new. It has been most entertaining, to be honest.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind compliment!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-67907656802097592102012-11-29T04:38:11.814+01:002012-11-29T04:38:11.814+01:00Your enthusiasm is inspiring, Ginnie.

These pictures are awesome, but I also can imagine the noise that comes with it, and I wouldn't like that!

The last time I went by destruction machinery was in New York City but then they were behind high wooden walls and it was hard to take a look. I like the bright golden yellow colors of these giants; it goes well with autumn foliage.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-25496403850596682502012-11-26T20:24:20.885+01:002012-11-26T20:24:20.885+01:00Ohhhh, thank you, MLMA.

It was so fascinating to see those big machines and yes, I love to trespass :)<br />The night pictures turned out well. Thank you for using them.<br />Now we will wait ans sit back and see the grass grow.<br />Wonder how long it will take before they start building houses again.<br />Jeroen (Hoomer) will be very happy with this post, you did a great job.<br />Astridhttp://www.picturit.shutterchance.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-63538064175434352272012-11-26T17:16:16.898+01:002012-11-26T17:16:16.898+01:00The whole process from beginning to end has been q...The whole process from beginning to end has been quite an education, Anne.

There has been demolition work going on near us and though I haven't seen a machine like this in action, I have noticed the results. The site was transformed so quickly that it is now hard to think of there being buildings on it just a few weeks ago.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391843145453644790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-91671865615075103492012-11-26T14:20:00.266+01:002012-11-26T14:20:00.266+01:00Thanks, Ruth.

They probably worked 12-hour days. I do remember that they also started at 7 a.m. whereas on the rest of the project it was 8 a.m. Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-74866803414086448622012-11-26T13:39:48.929+01:002012-11-26T13:39:48.929+01:00The photos are great, yours and Astrid's.
