Not Blowing My Own trumpet

That dog would be Nipper, the RCA dog. "His Master's Voice."

Oops, didn't see there was a page 2. Didn't mean to step on anyone. Very cool photo, though. Unusual.

I THOUGHT I had hit "Post Reply" yesterday, when I described the scene/photo as being "almost surreal"... I guess my mind is playing tricks on me.

OK so I Google Earthed this thing.
Its MASSIVE!!!!

nearly 300 ft. long and the back end is partially splayed.

From the looks, those folks are quite the whimsical bunch!
But its near the beach so its one helova walk from the road.




Still, I love the colors and I am assuming it was a slow speed shot given the muting of the clouds..


Love the color saturation.

its made of red colored canvas with steel cables going from one end to the other tied to massive steel rings, the shot was 30sec with a ten stop filter

I have a pair of RCA Nipper salt and pepper shakers. Are we enough off track yet? lol

Cool photo of an interesting subject to say the least.

Too bad you didn't get a photo of the other end of it, could have made for a great selfie!

the other end will be my next visit, i live about 30min away from the farm but you need tickets to go see them and they only give them out once a month as people live on the farm and don't want people there every single day, as you might understand the tickets are somewhat hard to get as they go fast, i did how ever take other shots and may upload one soon to show how tiny people look next to this thing

Awesome shot of a great piece. I think something else in the frame to provide scale would put it over the top.

Thanks for the correction, i wasn't really sure but remember seeing this as a kid and that OP picture brought back memories. Great picture btw the grass,horn,clouds all work for me even with out the dog.LOL

I have to say @yahgiggle your images have made me think about New Zealand as a fun bucket list trip!

A jack Russell terrier in the front looking in the horn and you have a record label. I can't recall who it was but there was a record label like that,I am thinking way back.70s maybe

I believe RCA Victor.
