Okay, here's 22 seconds of my life standing where you aren't supposed to stand underneath a giant ferris wheel. I can't decide whether I like the picture or not, but it was fun to take.

@BobHorowitz What did the red-faced operator do about this?

@mfennvt He hit the brakes of the ferris wheel and gave everybody on the ride an unexpected roll back and forth.

@mfennvt Those orange things are the brakes, btw. Powerful little bastards.

@BobHorowitz I always wanted to do that, wondering what it would look like 😍

@antoinnesterk You get to see all the grease and grime up close. The OCD in me says they really should clean that wheel better.

@mothninja or Indiana Jones in a slot canyon about to get crushed by a giant wheel.

It's all relative.
Here, steel is strong, which is a good thing. But when you're standing on the shoulder of a freeway taking pictures of cars and trucks speeding by you, steel is also strong, and that's a bad thing.

@BobHorowitz freaking awesome, Bob ❤️

@Billthoo Thanks, Bill. Much appreciated.
I'm finding it looks okay on my phone and tablet... but Mastodon, per usual, does such a terrible job displaying photos in a browser on my PC. That's the reason I've been questioning this one.

@BobHorowitz oh, I see. I’ve not used mastodon on a big screen at all.

@Billthoo It's bad news. Mastodon does a terrible job properly sizing photos.
I don't know how hard it is to expand and shrink photos and still make them look good... But I know it can be done. Take something like Adobe Photoshop. It does a terrific job zooming in and zooming out of photos, making them look good as it resizes them. And it's not just the Photoshop. Most websites do a really good job resizing images for any resolution.
Anyway, I avoid looking at browser Mastodon on a big screen. It makes me wince.

@BobHorowitz It is a unique perspective

@BobHorowitz I love it 🤩 it’s like a giant robot mech about to take off to fight Godzilla. Love all the wear-and-tear on the surfaces too!

@exkclamation
A giant robot... Yes I can see that.
It also kinda reminds me of the shredder discs on my Cuisinart.

Courting danger for the sake of your art!

@BobHorowitz I think this is pretty cool. But how were you able to talk someone into letting you get the vantage point?

@EricPhotos There was a gap in the gate so I took that as invitation, or maybe kismet. I might have been wrong.
