Hanging over I-595 in Ft. Lauderdale the past two weeks. I used the Tokina 11-16 2.8 for some of these, I like the lens a lot.

Re: hanging out at work
How much does that damn truck weigh to have that much counter balance?

Re: hanging out at work
It is heavily weighted on the driver's side and has limit switches supposedly to prevent tipping but despite the precautions there have been several accidents over the years. Once in St. Pete on a super elevated bridge deck there was a roll over and it was the bucket at the end of Boom 3 hitting the under route that prevented the truck from rolling over onto the under route. No injuries then. More recently on the Gandy, a pin failure at Turret 2 resulted in Booms 2 and 3 dropping (although not completely separating) sending the two man crew into Tampa Bay. (Again no permanent injuries) A similar failure under the conditions I was working would most certainly have resulted in squished inspectors. Not from the drop necessarily but from impact from the under route traffic.

I took one look at that contraption and said no way would I get in that.

They rent it out on weekends as a carnival ride!
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley
Re: hanging out at work
I live not far from that area. Sunrise here, Nob Hill and Sunset. That work seems to go on forever. Finally got the Nob Hill exit fixed though.

I work for Sun Hydraulics. I bet if you look around on that bucket you'll find our counter balance valves on it. Nice Sun Set Pics.
