During one of my photographic ‘walkabouts’ in Al Barsha, Dubai, I came across a vacant plot, that had several large concrete blocks used for load testing and on top of the blocks were these large nuts and bolts. I could immediately see an opportunity and began taking photos.
Suddenly a man came running over the road from the construction site opposite and began asking was everything alright, seeming to be very concerned that I was inspecting the bolts. After some reassurance from myself, but not entirely convinced he went back to work.
The next day I realised what his concern had been. These bolts were part of a crane assembly which was almost complete. The man must have thought I was an inspector and was worried he wouldn’t be able to assemble the crane in time and started to panic.
