Cutting Through the Night

wpid5756-AU0E8296.jpgI headed back to the work site later the same day to see how things were progressing.  I wanted to know how fast things were moving but I also wanted to see the work at night.  The cutting torches they are using provide a great shower of sparks but, during the day, it is hard to make that impression since they are not very conspicuous.  If they were cutting at night, I figured the effect would be more pronounced.  That certainly was the case.

Moreover, they had got a lot further than I had expected.  The section was almost totally cut free.  It was now rest on the barge ready to be moved when the final cuts were made.  As you can see from above, it wasn’t long before this happened.  They really had made swift work of the first stage of the task.
