Cupola rising

A couple of weeks ago, the cupola of the Provincetown Public Library was lifted to its rightful place after years of repair and delay. Hundreds gathered around 11 a.m. to watch two massive cranes hoist the bright white gazebo-like structure. Here you can see the cupola in "mid-flight" moments before two workmen on tethers atop the tower aligned it atop the structure. The crowed erupted in applause for this moment of local civic pride.
