I haven’t been back to sketch at the Roosevelt Light Rail Station construction site for a while. It’s
frustrating because I can see the tops of the red and yellow cranes from quite a distance,
but once I get up close, it’s hard to find a place where I would be allowed to
stand and also see anything worth sketching.
Grabbing coffee at the Roosevelt Square Starbucks, which is
on the upper level, I realized that the yellow crane was now in a position that
I could see part of it from the outdoor tables. Partially blocked by the Square’s
façade as well as lots of trees, it’s still a frustrating view, but at least I
had a comfortable to table to sit at and unexpected blue spots between the clouds
(yesterday’s weather report was
wrong; not a single shower all day!).
(By the way, did you spot the worker up there? I know it looks
like he’s walking on the outside of the railing, but he’s really safe inside. Well,
“safe” is a relative term. My heart was pounding just imagining what it must be
like to walk around up there.)
Good sketch! Yes, I noted the worker. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteNice that you found a view with the crane...too bad you can't actually see what they are doing. Great that you captured the worker up top. You wouldn't catch me up there. lol
