Bigfoot *

Lamont, Oklahoma

I grew up in the shadow of this water tower. This is what it looked like to me as a boy of ten, just before climbing it.

Thanks, Sharon.The challenge wasn't as much the climb but about getting over the railing to the high walkway surrounding the tank. The railing leaned outward, undoubtedly to thwart young boys' ambitions, and I wisely decided a "personal best" would best not include a victory march around the walkway. I still have occasional "day-mares" about the consequences of the more-reckless alternative: an embarrassing helicopter rescue, or worse. .. Lew

Great two-way perspective, Lew! Normally you wouldn't want the power lines in the shot but for this challenge they add another level of perspective. I can't believe you climbed this thing, what did you do when you got to the top? ~Sharon
