Took a ride to Silver Spring to see Chompie The Shark. Walked all the way around the building plus onto a metro platform, thanks goodness had my smart card on me. Spent a good hour an a half shooting him from all angles and distances. Wish I could have gotten head to tail in the shot but think I need to be in a plane or helicopter. Some facts about Chompie :
446 feet nose to tail
200 feet tip to tip side fins
11,720 yards of fabric and 36.7 miles of thread
6,400 of man-hours to make
Made for the Discovery Communications Building by Ann Wawer to promote Shark Week. This is his third appearance since 2007 and my first trip to see him.
@lindag had a nice time. when I got home hours later my husband comment was "so glad I didn't go". of course if he had it wouldn't have lasted that long.
thanks for stopping by
