That was fast... good catch.

(..for the challenge you guys, head to any Kia dealer and look for a giant hamster...

Luckily I checked the forum just before I went out this morning.

If you had posted your shot 30 minutes later, I would have come home with a second place martial arts school photo.

Nice photo. I didn't get so great a shot, 'cause access wasn't really available without blocking traffic. Also, no clue WHAT rail line this is, or who the operator happens to be. All I know is, the damned train blocks my ride to work, and has made me late a couple of times over the past couple of years.

Though I didn't win the challenge, I did trespass (on camera and under threat of prosecution, no less) to get the photo. I also did NOT fasten my seat belt per the sign on the way back out of the compound.

I was not a complete rebel, though, as I did not utilize my cell phone while operating my vehicle, which was also warned against by yet another sign at the exit.

As for the big inflata-advert, that one was on my list of potential challenges to issue. Could be fun. I love the big stupid guys with the big wavy arms flopping all over the place. Hope someone gets one of those.

Been there; trespassing adds a pleasant shot of adrenaline to the challenge, and getting caught can turn the challange into an adventure.

I had 'railroad crossing' on my list, but I'm glad Jam beat me to it; there's a lot of good opportunities for those around here. I was able to bypass a couple to get to a more scenic one.

That is one tacky hamster. Can't believe Kia uses them in their ad campaigns. Oh well, others use geckos, chameleons, owls, snails, you name it... No wind farms in this area.

That's awesome! I've not seen the giant hampster before... If that doesn't say 'Capitalism' with a capital C, I don't know what does; love it.

I'm out on this one. There are wind farms around, but we're due to get 7"-8" of snow tonight and tomorrow.

..and on the way to get this I passed at least three of those skinny fan-powered "stick-people" and a giant sheep in front of some Serta mattress joint..
