Albania. Kucova. Oil derrick in a graveyard. Working oil pump among the tombs. Tombs and and plastic flowers used for decoration. A derrick is a lifting device composed at minimum of one guyed mast, as in a gin pole, which may be articulated over a load by adjusting its guys. Most derricks have at least two components, either a guyed mast or self-supporting tower, and a boom hinged at its base to provide articulation, as in a stiffleg derrick. Kucova is a village in Vlorë County. 25.05.2018 © 2018 Didier Ruef
