Description
Another "Spruce Goose" shot.
This is the anchor that was on the other end of that cable, along with a rope and a lead weight.

Very cool capture. If I remember correctly, the lead weight was used to determine the depth of the water beneath the craft.
I have only seen the plane on TV
Thats cool, i want an air boat
looks a lot like the anchor we use on the drift boat! very nice shot!
Thanks for the shot Tara! A good choice. At first I thought it a bit small after seeing Bill's amazing night shot, but then realized it would be deployed from the front so once set, the aircraft would just be facing into the wind, and wind resistance is minimized. Sometimes those anchors have an additional cable attached to the other end of the anchor to enable its easier release if it gets dug in too well.
I love the way the museum has presented this so beautifully on that shiny floor. Somebody has to put them back like this every time they polish it!
Interesting. You never think of an aircraft as needing an anchor. I hope our looming government shutdown doesn't alter your travel plans too much.
Nice shot and nicely placed 'bits and pieces'.
Nice shot!
Neat idea for a shot. Very well done! :-)
Remind me of our boating days. Nice shot Tara.
Nice and what subject matter!
If ever I have one I will remember :) lovely shot
Ooooh!! I like this sweetie. What a cool shot!!!!!
well composed and interesting capture! ;o)
A delightful photo, Tara! Looks like they placed those items very carefully. :-D
You got just the right POV for this, and that shiny floor is wonderful! The smallest things can make the best shots!
Excellent shot and I would let it stay tied up :)
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
This looks like an exhibition in an art gallery, Tara. I am also impressed by the clarity of this beautiful quiet life. You are a fantastic photographer in all area on the art. (this after, again having admired your gallery). :)
Nice find and capture Tara. I wonder how it was used. I know it is an anchor, but I would like to have seen when they used it!t
