Pic of the week game

Here's something different: Giant Structures. This is the new railroad bridge over the Genesee River Gorge in Letchworth Park.

Kinda struggling with this one.

Here's the structure used to test the first atomic device. Well, a replica anyway since the original was vaporized. "The Gadget" (as they called it) hanging from the structure, is about six feet in diameter. This is at the National Atomic Museum here in Albuquerque.

Giant Structures.

In the event I don't come up with something else:

The rail line is still active but the lift bridge aspect has been dormant for decades.

 

[Redman]

Maybe not giant as far as transmission line towers go, but quite tall in this picture

I suspect 3 or so of us regular players here have pics of Tulip Trestle in southern Indiania, and one or two of us were just there Friday or Saturday. But I'll use this local xmission tower.

I'll try to use this one though probably the other one would be better.:

Wife agreed to take a short ride with me (second time ever) so I could get a pic of her on the oversized Adirondack at a local shop.

Well Happy Friday, GSR! Time to review our photos and vote.

This week's theme by Eli68:

Giant Structures.

And there they are. 10 fun photos of giant things...

Don't forget to vote, and please advise us if anything is amiss....

 

[Eli69]

Some really neat pictures. My vote is for Mr Kerrfunk and the slightly over the top sculpture. I mean that is big.

 

[Redman]

Enjoyable shots.

I wonder if the place in cowboy Scott’s picture rents out rooms and has facilities for a GSR rally.

richs pic hit me “why didn’t I think of that, have a chair like that nearby, have pics of grandkids there”. And I like that he got his wife involved.

vote for Steve Murdock, mostly because the structure is so big and so well lit, and shows size of structure, and is bike and structure and little else to distract from the bike and structure.
Mostly because is so well lit. I think I noticed that because this is the pic that first came to my mind to enter:

but decided not to because the structure is in its own shadow at that time of day as viewed from that side (and due to distortion of being a vertical panographic shot.).

note: The place of cowboy Scott’s pic is referred to as "..... lunatic asylum".

[Jedz123]

Nice job guys. I like Dave's the best.
So Redman for me!

 

[Grimly]

Burque and the Fat Man.
(hey, could be a cop series from the 70s.)

 

[kerrfunk]

I'm voting for Rich. The picture makes me smile.

Eli69, From mountain to mountain all the way across that river gorge. Baatfam's looks like a fish that should be swimming in the river below the bridge, a close 2nd.

 

[steve murdoch]

Kerrfunk and the Transformer clone works for me.

 

[cowboyup3371]

Rich for me this week
