Eye of the storm...

My niece told me about the ship bearing four new container cranes, due to arrive at the Port of Tacoma. And when we headed for the Port today, to do our daily geocache, I was hoping we'd get to see them. We drove into a thunderstorm, with black clouds and rain, but to the west the sun was shining on the Olympics. The wind was ice cold, and I wished I had brought my Nikon so I could have zoomed in on the ship. I can't imagine how this cargo, towering high above the deck, traveled all the way across the Pacific from China. The cranes, once installed, will be the biggest container cranes on the west coast: 434 feet tall with the booms raised.
