I notice that pics are being posted of items that are normal size.
I believe Diesel's original concept was to photograph bigger than normal size "iconic" or "tourist" attractions. Hence the big pineapple - many times larger than a usual pineapple.
Just sayin'

Yep- been mentioned in this thread not long ago. Normal sized tanks don't count, impressive as they might be. Show us one the size of a B-Double and we'll be amazed.

Just saw Draco's mea culpa. Can't blame you for Stimpy's bad example.

The Tank is big, and appears to be in a public area, therefore an attraction. (Dont think I have ever seen a small tank)

It's actually a small tank, 30 ish tons, as tanks go. But the Leopard is very fast cross country.
The Abrahms is approx 60 tons.

And I've driven the Leopard recovery tank.

We now resume normal viewing.

I needed some helmet time today and headed down the South East in search of Big Things.

The Big Pelican at Meningie on Lake George has been carved from tree.

The Big Lobster at Kingston SE. This was one big thing that everyone seems to have photographed, but not me until today.

A great way to clear the head and see the sites.

Gotta love that craftmanship. Not a bad example of an ST, either!

Hope the helmet time helped your headspace.

Glad you had a good ride Pete.

Another short ride today to bag a couple of local Big Things.

The Big Apple at Balhanna in the Adelaide Hills. It needs a coat of paint.

The Big Pencils at Artwine Winery, Woodside. While not all that big, they wouldn't fit in my pencil case.
