Egads! That’s a ginormous wasp! It could probably eat your head in one bite!

I came across a few reindeers: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/jhyPDHYOmwJOki3H0XWnJQ/photo

Fly, little reindeer! Fly! :santa:

By the way, I intend this to be different than the “awesome” thread. Awesome sequences - #45 by Sandra

This is for things that aren’t really “amazing” so much as just interesting or different or something that you wouldn’t normally expect to see where the photo was taken.

How often do you see a blimp flying overhead?

That’s…not how you’re supposed to drive. Or park. :grimacing: Either way, #fail.

Oooops :smiley: Pretty dangerous for drivers actually, wonder if anyone ever stopped and removed it before someone hit it…

Good question. This looks like it was in Florida. Florida (and other states, including Georgia) have a 24-hour non-emergency phone number for the Dépassement of Transportation for reporting things like this so they can be removed.

About as often as you see one on the ground? :slight_smile: Goodyear tied up for the night at TSY ( Knoxville ) for their coverage of Battle At Bristol a few weeks ago.

For those of you who don’t know, college football is big down here. 2 colleges - Virginia Tech and University of Tennessee - played at a NASCAR track in Bristol, TN and 150k+ showed up in person to watch the game.
