Bristol Harbour cranes seen from below, remind me of steel dinosaurs. They are old cranes used for loading and unloads cargo along the dock, they look so large and cumbersome. 

 Steel Dinosaurs

Seen against a sunset back drop

standing tall above the harbour

dinosaurs from a bygone era

reflected in these rippling waters

cold hard steel dark against the sky

like robots working the cargoes

of the great tall wooden ships

that sailed the world's seven seas!

this industrial area

stands as a testimony to time

of health, wealth and prosperity

this place was once a mighty town
