Random Object Photographs

Near miss. I always wondered about the fish, whales, etc. that were killed when a bomb went off in the oceans.
This is shock testing. Each class of ship gets it done. The photo is of USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 undergoing shock test shortly after commissioning. For reference that is a 1003 foot long, 100,000 ton carrier making that explosion look huge. Not done every day.
 
Road to an old NM Gold Mining area.
There’s the remains of a mining town there I would like to see.
I don’t think they want me to go there.View attachment 784341
Gold miners can be unsociable. There are many scattered about in the back areas of Alaska. Some signs, some gates, some nothing to warn a person. A friend and I crossed a river on our three-wheelers. There was a sign there stating keep-out. We hadn't been across 60 seconds and armed men came out of nowhere and said, "Git!" We gitted pronto.
