Across the street from where I work in Docklands, Melbourne is the Mission to Seafarers – a worthy charity and volunteer-run organisation.
Right next to the Misson’s heritage-listed building, however, a luxury residential building is currently under construction. They’ve called this building ‘Seafarers Residences’. Weird flex, I know. But there it is.
I was able to take some interesting photos of the construction in progress with my new long lens (Fujinon XC 50-230mm).
Crane operator at the future Seafarers Residences
Close up photo of a crane operator inside the cab of a tall, white/red/blue crane above a construction site. The operator is looking down and to the left since that’s the direction his load is moving in.

Photo of a tall, white/red/blue crane above a construction site next to a river. You can see a crane operator sitting inside the cab. And, far below at ground level, you can see a three construction workers in high visibility vests.
Crane-supported concrete pour
Photo taken from a tall building, looking down at several construction workers on a construction site. The workers are standing around a large, yellow concrete container that’s being held above a section of the foundation by a tall crane. One of the workers is guiding the flow of the concrete from the container into the area around a large wooden cast.
