Blade...

Took some pix of a wind turbine blade being wheeled, inch by inch, into Victoria Square, Hull… as some kind of artwork to mark the start of the city’s ‘year of culture’ (or maybe just as an advert for Siemens). It was huge, though the pix don’t really capture the size of it... and the weather was gloomy. It must have been an expensive manoeuvre, to judge by the number of cranes and other pieces of machinery, plus loads of guys in hard-hats and hi-vis jackets, who were presumably on good overtime pay for turning out on a Sunday. I’d left before the blade was fully and finally in place…
