This post is less about this particular image and more about the video below. Let me know what you think.

I wasn't totally thrilled to have these cranes in the skyline because of how they interrupt the normal
skyline of the various monuments on the National Mall. I had just photographed a sunrise at the
Reflecting Pool and was walking back to a Metro station when I discovered that all 4 cranes were
busily carrying on with different tasks. Below is a very short video that I made from a series of time
lapse images covering a total of 14 minutes of real time. The video contains a bit more than that time
period because I reversed some of the sequence towards the end to make for a slightly longer video.
Had I known it was going to turn out so well I would have stayed longer to get more of a sequence.
