We saw it a couple of weeks ago in the morning and I was thinking how mad I would be if it were my 1st visit and I had to have that crane in my castle picture. But sure enough it was gone in the afternoon!
We're just back (Oct 18-24) and the crane was visible most days but there were periods- usually late in the afternoon when it was down and you could have a 'perfect' castle shot.
From certain angles, you could easily shoot the castle without getting any crane in the pic.
I had heard that they were working on the Castle 'til January- a combination of painting- which they were doing while we were there as well as 'room prep' for the 'night in the castle' stays.
