A Unic Sunset

Posted by Mike Cash (Kiryu, Japan) on 1 May 2009 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.

In Japan some trucks carry small hydraulic cranes mounted between the cab and the cargo bed, with the telescoping booms pointing to the front or rear while driving. They're particularly common among trucks delivering construction supplies to job sites and those delivering vending machines for installation. While stopped in traffic around dusk I noticed the boom end of one nicely silhouetted against the sky, rolled down my passenger side window and snapped a shot.
