That crane looks like it’s auditioning for a rust-themed art exhibit.

The crane stood there, unapologetically weathered, its rusted frame catching the sunlight in patches like an old soldier wearing scars with pride. It seemed out of place against the sweeping green of the grass and the polished skyline across the harbor. Yet, it was precisely this contrast that made it compelling—a relic refusing to bow to time’s insistence on erasure. Around its base, seagulls wandered aimlessly, their white feathers stark against the green. The breeze carried faint echoes of past labor, or maybe it was just my imagination filling the silence. Across the water, life looked pristine and orderly; here, it felt raw and unfiltered. The kind of place that doesn’t ask for your attention but holds it anyway.
