The infrastructure in cities of all sizes is evolving at a neck-breaking pace. New constructions are being built, and old ones are constantly being renovated, which requires heavy equipment such as diggers or cranes. I can imagine it might be a bit frustrating that every single photo from your city break is “embellished” with several cranes hanging above the horizon.
