There are some nice shots in the contest! Lynn, yours is great. Andy's is excellent. Fish has some nice images, and Dirty Doggy, you've got some nice stuff too. A good week's work in just one day. I'm back from a short trip and got one that features blue (although truth be told, I really wanted red.... just didn't happen.)

Perhaps 1/250 would have given a little more motion to the wheels. Nice shot tho.

Big Blue!
I found some blue on the way home from work today. If you ever wanted to know what happens to used up reactor compartments from nuclear submarines, sit down, cause your gonna see.
This is one of the Port of Benton areas located throughout Richland. Lampson Inc. is one of our local employers that is known world wide. They build and use some of the largest cranes in the world.
When the Navy scraps a submarine, they have to do something with the reactor. They cut out the entire reactor compartment, de-contaminate it, and haul it on a barge up the Columbie to the Hanford Reservation. This little gem lifts the entire reactor compartment off the barge.
Once it has the reactor off the barge, it places it on this trailer...
I believe they use this small fellow to pull the trailer up the hill...
Once up the hill, they hook the trailer to these 2 tractors and pull it about 25 miles north of town for burial.
It is hard to describe how big one of those sections of submarines is until you see one coming down the road towards you.
One of the changes seen since 9-11; They now have a Coast Guard gunboat following the barge up the river. I suspect they probably have live ammo!
