They wish they could use the "Fundy" excuse....but that pier does not look like it has that much range or moved that much...also the godawful "riverboat" structure/boat/casino...whatever the heck its is....in the background, makes me think gulf coast adjacent state.  ;D

Found a link to a neat photo agency site in Russia.  These shots of rusty cars are pretty neat.

Cool. One car looked like it was pr-owned by Batman. What the heck is with the camera? Distorted the heck out of some of the photos .. wide angle I guess.

That is funny...completely wrong perspective angles, incorrectly illuminated, and it's not even centered on the window. But, just figure it was done by the same type of retard that drove the truck in.
Not only that, he spelt it wrong. He got the "b" right but left out the "u", "s" & "h"....

I would hate to go over those handlebars!

Neat photos, Mark. I suspect the Russians always taught that they invented Rust.

Received some pictures from my collegue today. They are all in for "the constructor of the year" award. ;D

bet the builder was fired......good ins ;D

The one with the railroad tracks is puzzling. The platform doesn't look like new construction, but the tracks don't look abandoned either.

The other pics look like a case of the builder following some clueless designer's or owner's instructions to the letter.
