bakerzdosen Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Nope. It's not a zipline (those are a dime a dozen throughout the tropics.) Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 OK, hint time: It's a tram folks. In a rain forest. Link to comment
tazplas Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Pacific or Atlantic Rain Forest Aerial Tram, Costa Rica? Braulio Carrillo National Park, Province of Limon? Link to comment
tazplas Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 OK. Have done a bit more homework. That particular photo may not be in Costa Rica. Could it also possibly be in St Lucia, Dominica or Jamaica? My reference? - http://www.rainforestrams.com/index.html Cheers Steve Link to comment

ltljohn Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Somewhere in England and shouldn't there be flying pigs over it? Link to comment
tazplas Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Good to see that there's at least one other Pink Floyd fan out there. Need a bit more info though (name of building mainly) Cheers Steve Link to comment
tazplas Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 That's the one. Bit of a story attached to the pig flying above the station as well. From Wikipedia "The original Pink Floyd pig was designed by Roger Waters and built in December 1976 by the artist Jeffrey Shaw with help of Designers team Hipgnosis[1], in preparation for shooting the cover of the Animals album. Plans were made to fly the forty-foot, helium-filled balloon over Battersea Power Station on the first day's photo-shoot, with a marksman prepared to shoot the pig down if it broke free. However, the pig was not launched. On the second day, the marksman wasn't present because no one had told him to return, and the pig broke free due to a strong gust of wind on the third day, gaining a lot of press coverage. It disappeared from sight within five minutes, and was spotted by airline pilots at forty thousand feet in the air. Flights at Heathrow Airport were cancelled as the huge inflatable pig flew through the path of aircraft, eastwards from Britain and out over the English Channel, finally landing on a rural farm in Kent that night. The pig was recovered and repaired for the resumption of photography for the album cover, but unfortunately the sky was cloudless and blue, thus "boring". However, the pictures of the sky from the first day were suitable; eventually, the album cover was created using a composite of photos from the first and third days. The pig that was originally floated above Battersea Power Station was called "Algie"." All yours Cheers Steve Link to comment

MikeRC Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Thanks Paul, how about this one: Mike Cassidy Link to comment
MikeRC Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Not the Beartooth. All the videos of those switchbacks on Youtube are gloriously free of slow moving cruiser and Goldwing riders. Not that they aren't there, they're just a lot easier to pass. Mike Cassidy Link to comment
Redbrick Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Chief Joseph Hwy 296 in Wyoming perhaps...... Link to comment
MikeRC Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Correct. Which means the Beartooth is actually in the distance. I wanted to tell Larry "close, but not quite" but I thought that would make it too easy. While I was taking the photos for that panorama on the first day of the 2004 UnRally a bunch of reprobates on BMWs went by at way over the speed limit. Smoky and I gave chase and only caught up to that group as they were refuelling in Cody. They were led by LesterV two-up on a misfiring R80 that he had borrowed The idea at the time was to let the "slow" guy lead. Mike Cassidy Link to comment

MikeRC Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 That's right! My picture was taken from the parking lot of the Agriturismo Poggiacolle about 2 km away from the town. Mike Cassidy Link to comment
TyTass Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 What a view. We stayed at Agritourimo Montalpruno over between Staggia and Poggibonsi. It was all beautiful! Here's one I took a few years ago. Significant restoration was still ongoing, probably finished by now. Link to comment
