    Well, not as big, but it is a big azz pile of it...
    This is as close as I could get to it safely, traffic is rough around here on churchday...



    If that is accepted, how about a historic courthouse? This is the Stark County Courthouse located in Knox, Indiana. It was built 1897, and the clock tower measures out at 138 feet...

      I hadn't played for a while due to mechanical issues, but theyre all but sorted out now. I'll post something about that shortly on the other thread I started. There has also been issues with photobucket and I am in the process of switching to another photo sharing site, but for now hopefully this works.

      Anyway, heres an old one in Santa Fe, NM. Santiago E. Campos U.S. Courthouse built in 1889.



      Next tag, a commuter train. This is the New Mexico Railrunner on its 10th year in service. It has a 100 mile route through the north central part of New Mexico running from Belen to Santa Fe.

          It's not one you are accustomed to seeing, it's a TruckLite LED headlight, so it looks considerably different.

          Here is a view from a more-normal angle:


          The picture in my sig shows another angle, but might not help much.

          That helps, I thought I was seeing an empty bucket.

                Here is the commuter train. This Metro-North train runs from Poughkeepsie down the Hudson river to Grand Central Station.

                Now for the new tag. It may be another tough one.....a wedding!

                Just came upon the wedding when I went out for the train tag.

                      Been thinking about renewing our vows after 10 years. Would that be cheating, LOL?

                        I went to a couple of wedding venues and this is apparently the time to get hitched. I witnessed three weddings in progress. The first was a really young couple. I stopped the bike on the other side of the fence but didn't dismount. As I looked around I was surrounded by the wedding attendees and, well, it was super awkward so down the road I went, QUICKLY! So, on to the next popular spot, old town plaza. There's a great gazebo in the middle of the plaza. Here's a pic of the bride and groom, among many others others, in the gazebo. Took a quick pic as not to distract from their event.



                        Now the next tag. A cell tower. This one is cleverly disguised to fit in with the neighborhood pine trees. It doesn't really though, does it? Notice how all the other trees keep their distance? Anyway, if you can find one wearing a Halloween costume, sweet, but not necessary.

                          I know that wedding pic was pretty lousy. Is it acceptable?

                            I'm quite new here, but I see a wedding and I see what I presume is your bike. So you get the points!

                              Welcome, and thank you!

                              Your avatar pic cracks me up. Got any cell towers nearby?

                                OK, could not find a cell tower dresssed for Halloween, so had to split it up.

                                Here is your cell tower:


                                This is the city of Fairborn's tribute to the "Home of Flight", celebrating the Wright brothers, and is almost within spitting distance of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

                                Here is a close-up. It's a little hard to see from this angle, but there are three jet silhouettes at the top of the swirly thing going up the post.



                                For the next tag, how about an easy one? Let's see a YARD dressed up for Halloween.


                                For the icing on the cake, Mrs. Steve and I just got back from getting that tag right at sunset, so here is a sunset pic to boot:
