Last Crane Blooming
The image shows the last surviving quarry crane in Hallowell’s Granite City Park, standing tall against a backdrop of trees and flowers. Once used for lifting heavy blocks of stone, it now remains as a historical monument to the city’s granite industry.
Once it raised granite; now it frames blossoms.
Past and present balance in the park’s quiet air.
This photograph depicts the preserved quarry crane in Hallowell’s Granite City Park, a relic of the city’s stonecutting past. Surrounded by vibrant flowers and framed by autumn trees, the crane symbolizes both industrial heritage and the transformation of place into community space.
