Handwritten on the back in black pen, "two big cranes looking like giant horses stand along the Oakland Estuary ready to unload ships in the setting sun." Clipping from Tribune, Dec. 26, 1984-- "STEEDS OF STEEL. In another century, the scene might have been one of wild stallions silhouetted against the setting sun on a Western prairie. But the figures are steel and cable, and they're not horses but cranes used for shipping. And while it's still the West, it's considerably more wet along the Oakland Estuary than the Plains. But after all is said, is it any less romantic?" Photo shows two large freight cranes silhouetted against the setting sun.
