Day #215 This Shark's Got Air

Took a ride to Silver Spring to see Chompie The Shark. Walked all the way around the building plus onto a metro platform, thanks goodness had my smart card on me. Spent a good hour an a half shooting him from all angles and distances. Wish I could have gotten head to tail in the shot but think I need to be in a plane or helicopter. Some facts about Chompie :

446 feet  nose to tail

200 feet tip to tip side fins

11,720 yards of fabric and 36.7 miles of thread

6,400 of man-hours to makeMade for the Discovery Communications Building by Ann Wawer to promote Shark Week this is his third appearance since 2007 and my first trip to see him.
