What some people will do for a photograph.

so... Carruthers. What's up with the postimage.org link you've included with the last couple pictures you've posted?

One in a million... make that Billion, get a chance like that. :eek:

When I upload the image, it automatically includes the link as an ad. I suppose that I could edit it out.

ETA: Just deleted link. It occurred to me that the image might not display if the link wasn't included. Seems to be working OK.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. It was... unclear, but not now. Thanks.

I knew there was a hatch to get out the top of the head to check on those lightning rods, but I didn't realize how thin the concrete shell is. Look at it. Can't be more than a couple inches thick.

But isn't that just the skin? Surely there must be a steel armature holding it up. Maybe? Kinda? Sorta?

Ah, so it's a reinforced concrete structure inside, thanks.
Standing on the pedestal, on top of that mountain, it looks much taller than 100 feet. Makes my pucker clench just looking at the pictures. :eek:

Vertigo my old friend! :O

For those of us with heightophobia, it would be nice to have a warning so I don't soil my chair when the photo opens up.

*giggle*

sorry about ur chair. :)

Wow, I never saw a pic of Carruthers before. Forget the rest. What a hottie. haha For a Pommy that is. lol

Never knew Christ had a trepanation.
