•  Info This extraordinary container crane is located at the southern end of the Columbuskaje Bremerhaven and is nicknamed "Giraffe". It was built in 1976 by the Peiner Träger company. Since the area of the Columbuskaje where this crane is located is not built on solid ground but on wooden poles, the ground cannot support a normal solid construction container crane. To save weight, the crane was erected in a lattice construction. It is a full-fledged container crane with a height of 54 m and a jib length of 93 m. It can carry loads of up to 38 tons.
  These shots may possibly be the last photos of this crane on Wikimedia as the crane is scheduled to be dismantled sometime in 2023.

•  Oppose The view from east is just a QI for me because the light is so bad -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:19, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
•  Support the view from west, but  Oppose the view from east - like Basile says, the light isn't great, but also I just don't get the "giraffe" from the second version, it just looks like any old crane to me from that angle. BigDom (talk) 09:13, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination According to the above comments I withdraw the set and will nominate the view from west alone --Llez (talk) 10:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
