Hilarious and clever at the same time. Made me smile.

Looks like a fine piece of trench art.

My son bought a tank made of spent shell casings while in Vietnam when he was about 8 (I think it was at the Cu Chi Tunnels). Not surprisingly, it was confiscated at the airport. I suspect it went back to the vendor and was re-sold to another gullible tourist...

Unfortunately this sort of thing happens often! No doubt, that tank continued to produce income for the vendor! Thanks for viewing!!

Hey buddy, cool shot of something I've never seen! Genuinely clever - both sculptor and photographer.

I guess I should . . . . . . . bite the bullet . . . . . . . and try to do some clever photography!!!

Interesting bit of art, but clearly it has been decommissioned, as the barrel is plugged

either that or the pentagon designed it by comittee

Hey, Jer, many thanks!! I really appreciate the comment and the play on words you did there!!

Just an older Yongnuo YN560-II flash mounted on a cheap radio trigger on a umbrella tripod is all you need then just go for it! I bought the radio triggers about 6 months ago and this was the first time I have actually used them other than testing. Thanks for the visit, My Friend!!

Many thanks. My Friend, I appreciate your comment, yep possibly a Pentagon committee product or maybe that's a cover to keep the hummingbirds out!!

Thanks for the visit!!
