Goliath by darylo

Goliath

Took a photo as we were leaving Six Flags today (with my phone) and I decided to load it in LR5 to edit. This is the ride Goliath from below. I loved the lines and the dramatic sky (the heavens opened up just a few minutes later).

I'm rather bummed that I did not make my Photographic Society Food Theme submission deadline. I had it in my head that it was midnight tonight, and as I'm such a foodie, I really wanted to submit for review/judging, so I've sent an email pleading leniency, but I don't expect to be granted it... sigh, double sigh.

Today was father's day in the US. As we have Six Flags passes, today was just about the only day we could take another person for free until the fall, and we judiciously chose to also get Flash Passes that allowed us to "jump the line." I know, it's horrible to watch people waiting in line and just because we paid more, we get to go ahead, but the numbers at the park were astounding. So we paid some extra, used our membership privileges for 1/2 price, and just went with it.

We left when the heat got to us. Headed home, ordered pizza, swam in a friend's pool, and now everyone is resting watching a movie. I have a big meeting in the morning, and I'm still kicking myself for not submitting my food photo last night when I put it up here asking for advice.

But, Happy Father's Day to my husband. We rode Goliath twice, and we loved every minute of it. :)
Very nice focus on this sky ride! Prefer to see it from your viewpoint, though!

@maggiemae It's one of the fastest rollercoasters in the US. It's super fast and super high. Fortunately, I still like these things. Crazy, I know.

That looks like a scary ride. I will be screaming all through the ride if ever I get on it :-)

@annied Thanks. It's just so wrong that someone who spends so much time in the kitchen or at the grill and looooooves taking photos of food would not get the deadline right in her head. Fingers crossed they'll let me submit tomorrow...
