Night Cranes

Tower cranes on the Energis House site at the junction of Vastern Road and Forbury Road, Reading, UK.  I see this view most mornings on my way to the railway station, and it has been interesting to see the buildings on this site develop.  They seemed to build the concrete lift shafts to full height before starting on the metal framework for the rest of the buildings. In its present state it reminds me of Richmond Castle.

Inspite of the financial crisis there seems to be a lot of building work going on in central Reading at the moment, at least if the number of tower cranes is anything to go by.
