Birchgrove, barge

This industrial barge is involved in dredging, trenching, pipeline construction and laying underwater cables, by Oil and Gas Engineered Systems (OES). When it isn’t being used in Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay or other Sydney waterways, it is moored in Snails Bay, near the inner west suburb of Birchgrove. Part of the Sydney skyline can be seen in the distance,

Interesting to see the barge moored alongside the luxury yachts hey Jim. Like the way you've caught the city in the background.

hmmm...
This inspires «Louis» to try to zoom in on the barges at anchor near the new section of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

An interesting shot J Bar - the jet-set toys nestled in against the barge - I like it!

Karen, Sydney Tower or Centrepoint Tower seems to creep into a lot of Sydney shots. :)

the beauty of the skyline and the water in contrast to the industrial of the equipment makes for a great shot
