A linking …

Third picture and write-up down …

Is the “picture” a picture of a model, painting, or the actual thing? I’ve driven on that I-10 Freeway hundreds of times over the decades, and don’t remember it having that sharp of curves.

Concerning the theme of this thread … The flyover got an award .. or MIGHT ... Cool.

Photo is from the air at a steep angle, with an extreme telephoto compression effect.

Interesting write-up - "half the initial cost and 8 months ahead of schedule" ?!?
