What is this structure?

Randy Chase · 02-06-2008, 05:36 PM

I have no idea...but this thread replaces the other one that got too long.

P90Puma · 02-06-2008, 05:39 PM

Maglev train tracks?

Original thought was roller coaster, but the scale is wrong, I think.

nvrblu · 02-06-2008, 05:42 PM

First thought was a shot of a bridge taken with a telephoto lens... but no.

Is it part of a particle accelerator?

zOOmz · 02-06-2008, 06:07 PM

No, it is not a bridge shot with a telephoto lens, and it is not part of an accelerator.

nvrblu · 02-06-2008, 06:26 PM

A support structure for power cables and/or pipelines?

zOOmz · 02-06-2008, 07:46 PM

but it is a bridge.

(wasn't sure how to answer)

But a bridge with a special feature

ms355 · 02-07-2008, 04:14 AM

- ski jump
- bobsleigh run
- some sort of track in a Japanese leisure park

Something about the way you introduced this pic on the other thread (now I can't find it there) made me think it was also telescope related. So I'm going to say one of the support structures in that giant radio telescope in South America.

I was thinking the same first, but didn't find any similar. One of the world's largest steerable radio telescopes is the 100m r.t. in Effelsberg (only 50 miles away from my place), but even this one has no "bridge".

zOOmz · 02-07-2008, 06:29 AM

No, it is actually a bridge that you drive on. But there is something special about it. This was taken with a regular photo lense.

NSR · 02-07-2008, 06:31 AM

zOOmz,
Can you tell us what country the bridge is located?

zOOmz · 02-07-2008, 06:32 AM

Japan

I even could with the Elise?

slaughtr · 02-07-2008, 06:33 AM

Ok, it's a curved bridge.
