This is the 4th one (of 6) of this series, showing a jackup rig, a substructure of a drilling platform that has been used in the North Sea, but is no longer required for the extraction of oil or gas, after it was unloaded in one of the ports of Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands by the 'Pioneering Spirit' in order to be scrapped there.

Impressive that the ship could lift, carry, and deposit on the pier these tall rigs!

I enjoyed the information about the "Jack Rig" almost as much as I enjoyed your photo SEA. It is marvelous and the "portrait" mode is the proper selection.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I really like your vertical presentation, that is a one huge structure, and to think it sailed the sea on that huge ship. tigs=^..^=

What I like about the photo is that the structures are perfectly straight. Really fine capture.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
