Great shot David. Good that you had time for a quick stop there on your way north.
Our last (and only) stop-off there was about 7 years ago - pre-drone days.

Thank you.  I was rather pleased with that one.    Got to go and collect some frames latter and that might be on the short list for them.

As an engineering feat, one cannot deny the impressiveness of that. But somehow, at the same time, I do feel a bit creeped by it. Maybe part of the reason it catches the attention and wakes up feelings of respect.

Talking about the engineering, would you believe they put it up in a single day.

Not only is it an impressive engineering feat, it also seems to have a lot of story behind it. Thanks for sharing this information

I figured that would also be a candidate for the annual Christmas calendar.

I rarely go to funerals but I've never seen a choir singing at one.  I've always tried to celebrate life instead of mourning death.

I avoid them like the plaque usually,   some of the people at this one I last saw 12 years ago and a different funeral.

Long times between funerals is a good thing.  I like the saying "I hope I'm late for my own funeral".
