Imagine you look out of your kitchen window and you see a donkey in your yard. And actually you behold a nodding donkey, aka pumpjack or oil derrick. Chances are high that you live on the Absheron peninsula and you built your house amidst the nodding donkeys. On the Absheron each donkey is typically accompanied by a tall steel tower that stands just above it. I could not yet figure out the function of it. It seems that a steel ladder goes up to a shaky platform on mid level and further up to the top. What is inspected from this elevated point?
