This crane barge was active at dawn, but the progress in restoring public access to the waterside in the East River Park is glacial.
I wonder how they keep the barge steady enough to support such a long lever arm. I suppose anchors towards the river and some sort of rigid extension on shore. But I couldn’t get close enough to see, I’m shooting through a chain-link fence.
The park was lovely, cool and quiet at that time of the morning. At least it was until the three traffic helicopters parked overhead. They are so annoying, especially when they are parked over my apartment.

After a long renovation, it looks like the Candle Building, once known for its many layers of chaotic street art is ready for its unveiling, all sparkly clean.
