week 48:

After taking another look from the southern side of the Göta älv to the big red container- and harbor crans, i went to the oppiste side of the "river", near Lindholmen.  I wanted to get a closer look to the cranes.
It was sunnday, so there were nearly noone in this area. No workers, no securities, no machine noise, no alarums and excursions, everything was calm and quiet. Some cars and boats were parked on the base. Sometimes ambler with dogs passed by.
Around there are some big industrie halls, maybe garages, factorys oe workshops for the ships, machines and cranes.
The first crane I met was red, there is no fence, no bar, just a signboard "no access for unauthorised person".  The crane is standing near the port entrance, inbetween the street an the river. My estimation in things like altitude is pretty bad, but I would say the height of the crane was like pile 12 - 15 cars up.
Standing the first time close beside the crane, was like being something small and powerless, having respect for the size and the power of this big "thing". Like I sad, threre is no barrier, and there were no people, (just some security cameras) but I didn't dare to ascend up to the crane, more than 2 meters. Maybe because of the fear about doing something dangerous and illegal, or just about the power of the crane? I don't know, I can't tell.
Going further searching for the other cranes, nearly the whole area was fenced-off with a high chain-link and barbed wire fence. So no chance to see the other cranes so close as the other one.
But also with whole barriers I had a really good view (gaze) to the cranes.
There are 5 big red container- and harbor crans, and some smaller ones.
ust to be shure, that you understand, where I was: directly bedind the dry-dock (which you can see very good from the other side, the big blue thing with inscription "göteborg" on it). All nearly the same size as the first one.
