Het Eilandje twijfelt tusses land en water - RijnkaaiThe old cranes in the former port of Antwerp on the river Schelde. Now there's a huge container port further downstream, leaving behind these cranes, looking remarkably like metallic giraffes.

Hello - interesting card for me as I lived and worked in Antwerpen for three and a half years in the early 1990's.
ReplyDeleteA bit oif useless information for you... the crane furthest back in the row is called a goose neck crane. They are very common on the Continent but not in the UK.
