Day 11 of 30 days of photographs (Heavy)
Heavy ....
Equipment, that is.
To the other heavies participating in this challenge zivainferno.
Few things fascinate me like the earth-moving equipment we use to change the landscape and build things. In some ways, it often seems like a representation of the pinnacle of human achievement. Great idea for today's theme, Tami!
A piece of heavy machinery is the pinnacle of human achievement?? You realize we've actually cloned animals, right? Been to the moon? Invented the LOLcats? Silly, silly man.
How does the creation of another sheep compare to the construction of iconic structures like the Empire State Building in NYC or the Burj Khalifa in Dubai? Poorly, I think.
I would like to visit the moon, though. Been a dream of mine for a couple of years now. You know how silly we old men are.
For some reason, I can't see the image. Because you always do interesting and cool photos, I'm sure this is one too. I will come back later to see if it appears.
This was one of my first thoughts but I couldn't find one of these outstanding in a field. (Dufus is rubbing off on me in terrible ways; please forgive the pun) Great shot!
yep, very heavy equipment!
ReplyDeleteI've been told I have heavy equipment. But I'm not one to brag.
ReplyDeleteI've also heard that you're a tool, NoName. But I'm not one to be critical.

Well, maybe some day you will get to visit the moon. Never lose hope, old man.
