POD Photo of the Day on Nov 30, 2011

Selected by Ian Hylands - Marius Hoppensack. Wow. This gap may not be that huge, it's hard to say from this angle, but the consequences are ugly. The roads create some really nice diagonal lines in this shot, and I like the water. And while I don't like the gloomy look of it as much, the shadows underneath would be much darker on a sunny day.

Reminds me of the gaps I used to pretend to do when I was five with a hand sized toy mountain bike... makes me want to provide my own sound effects

nobody worry! even if he didn't make it, his giant balls would wedge in the gap, keeping him safe.

nouser (Nov 30, 2011 at 13:21) (Below Threshold)

If he didn't make it he'd probably just style it in to a tyre tap off the other bridge, and finish with a flip in to the water
