Every now and then, there are things going on in the city  which are not every day occurrences. They may be random events or sometimes, they are  planned well in advance. It is simply luck when one happens to come across such events. Take, as one example, a simple streetcar . Yes, we see these everyday. However, how often do you come across a derailed streetcar?














Something a little more common is the demolition of one building to make room for a newer one. This is actually quite common and we see this pretty much everyday. What I wanted to show here is the almost dinosaur-esk feel I got from this demolition project as these two giant machines were working in tandem to take down a building that seemed to be almost fortified. 







What is seen everyday are large cranes lifting heavy objects to high places. However, what is not seen everyday are these same cranes lifting these same large heavy objects THROUGH  already existing, building were these same objects are placed inside. These highly skilled persons are able to take very large objects and place them precisely through windows midway up buildings . This is an insurances adjusters nightmare.
