Hang the Moon

[dedgren]

Ever wondered what the phrase, "you hang the moon for me" looks like in RL?



This'd make a great BAT.

Wow.....Good timing and postioning.  I'd say that was a lucky picture you have there.  Did you take it?   Nice picture too, construction right in front of some georgeous mountains, sun setting and the moon rising.  Perfect..........

That's a RL moon and a RL crane- that's all I'll say...

Great mountain view! 

And the main theme... I like this way of sightseeing very much.

My first association was this one:



This is a photo from the performance "The Sea Concerto" made by Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor in 1967. This photo is exposed in the Barbican Art Gallery in London.

Hehe, that's a great picture indeed! I don't think it's photoshopped - you just have to wait for the proper time and position (and get hit by the inspiration of course) to take a picture like this. Apparently, it's taken in Switzerland, or maybe Austria or Southern Germany, where Liebherr cranes are common, and the construction company, "Büchi", is located in Switzerland (http://www.buechibau.ch).

BTW, I found a similar pic lately, which was labeled "Catching the sun":

That's pretty hilarious! So is the one with the guy holding the sun, too!

[dedgren]

Well, I guess I'll fess up.

It was P'Shopped- Pro'ed, (PSP8) actually.

Here's the original.



So I can't take credit for the idea, either.  It's a great pic both ways, IMHO.

btw, I do try to attribute sources when I find them.  The pic was posted without apparent attribution in a blog I stumbled on, but a little digging and I found it, also posted without attribution, here [linkie].  I didn't look at much else on the site, but I can tell you

  ...WARNING...WARNING...

that it would appear to be neither work- nor minor-safe.

So there you have it.

Great pictures, all of them.  I like to see this type of thing.  And Andreas you are right not all pictures are photoshoped, that makes them even better.  It's all about timing and inspiration.
