Le Havre container harbor

June 27, 2018 by Alain Le Kim

It must have been the heart of the winter. I don't remember exactly, but it was freezing cold on a Sunday evening. I was driving around the harbor with my son and one of his friend. For once I had taken a tripod, so this night shot is sharp ! Needless to say all this machinery is huge. And it is operated 24/7. The problem here is that I did not have any authorization to get inside the installations. I was on the side of the road. Trucks were passing by in my back producing gusts of warm, dusty wind. I would love to spend more time in there, with full permits to approach the activity. But it is dangerous. You feel like a tiny insect among these gigantic cranes hauling containers that give the impression they could crush you if they fell on top of you.
