Description The Gentle Art of Excavating - Latest Type of Grab Crane
Details

The latest type of grab crane clearing out a small pond on Hampstead Heath. A typically rickety and convoluted crane goes through the ridiculous process of clearing out a tiny pond on Hampstead Heath, which, despite its unique proportions, seems to have retained quite a lot of rubbish. A man and a small boy continue fishing, and another boy launches his toy boat, apparently unperturbed by the mechanical intrusion.
