Big Things Here

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week (the week ending today) has been Anything Large. As she said at her place:

“This week our topic is Anything Large. You can find nature most anywhere. Be creative and have fun with this challenge.”

I’m going to poke around the archive for some big things.

The steam engine can move on its own, and the large drive wheel on top can power machinery of all sorts.
We run into this larger bunny fairly often on our walk. Quite a bit bigger than the one living in our yard.
The Grove’s pancakes are large, thick and delicious.
I love this little house (which is actually quite large, but not as big as its neighbors).
The casino in Minnesota certainly has a big flag.
I love watching the C5s turn. Pretty nimble for a big boy.
One of Westover’s C5m Super Galaxy. The biggest thing flying in the United States.
There’s an operator up there, so you know there’s a door.
Almost a crane and lines, I like lines
CT Rail – The Hartford Line locomotive.
OK, the door is to a staircase to the tunnel under the tracks, but this is my FAVORITE locomotive!
Completed in 1908,the Bulkeley Bridge is one of the oldest bridges still in use in the Interstate Highway System. It is also the largest stone arch bridges in New England. It carries Interstate 84
The truss bridge section allows for boats to pass.
It might be a sub-station. It might be a Borg Ship under construction.
Two ships passing in the harbor entrance in Ft Lauderdale
The London Eye – In between a business meeting and dinner in London, I had a few minutes to shed my laptop, call home and change clothes. Then I spied this outside my window.


If you like magical realism with suspense, action and a bit of family sarcasm, you will enjoy these books:

  1. Awesome photos! I especially loved the steam engine and the pancakes (of course). My keyboard had to duck for cover, though, when I got to the one about the Borg — thank goodness I’d just swallowed my coffee! Thinking BIG is a good way to start the week. Thanks!

  6. The rainbow in the London Eye photo is beautiful. That bunny is ginormous! Trains, planes and pancakes the size of tires on an 18-wheeler…..what’s not to like? Love the New England home.

    And Old Glory in the extra large size. She wears it well!

    • Thanks Ginger. I was thrilled to even be at a hotel across from the London Eye. When the rainbow appeared, I was amazed. We have a big bunny in the yard right now. She’s big enough to trip the outdoor motion-sensor lights. I hope you’re off to a great week.

  10. You had me at pancakes. That is my kinda cake! I love the quietness of the Bulkeley Bridge–such a pretty photo, but then the substation–so much to look at! Good ‘bigs’ Dan!

  26. Those cranes and their operators – not for the faint of heart. I was traveling through Georgia years ago and we stopped in a diner and they served their pancakes, which were huge, on platters which were actually clean metal garbage can lids to demonstrate just how huge they were.
