One night around 3 AM I heard an unusual noise in the kitchen
I just realized that I pass the Lance facility on South Blvd. when I ride into town on the light rail, after parking at the I-485 station. It's right next to the Sharon Road West station. I remember seeing the logo on the building last week. Was that where you were?Ivan Seeking said:Charlotte is my favorite Eastern city. I spent many weeks there at Lance.
That is amazing! I see great photo opportunities there. If I was there, I would put a camera with a tele lens (135, 200 or 300 mm) on a tripod, and settle down some distance away to try to get nice close-ups of the eagles.Ivan Seeking said:But in Dutch Harbor, Eagles everywhere! And they are not afraid of humans. You can even try to pet one if you don't like all of your fingers.
Sure enough. I spent two or three weeks there several times.jtbell said:I just realized that I pass the Lance facility on South Blvd. when I ride into town on the light rail, after parking at the I-485 station.

That is so cool! It almost looks unreal.Ivan Seeking said:You can just walk up and take a photo too. Like I said, you can literally try to pet them but they will bite off your finger!
? To what do you refer? May be an optical illusion.berkeman said:Looks like they forgot to finish the bow...
Ah, yes the anchors are essentially flush when retracted.berkeman said:At first that looked like missing panels in the bow, and you can see inside it:

But from the other picture that you posted in the other thread, it looks more like some goofy recessed area that might be for holding the anchor? It sure doesn't look like a clean feature that you would want on your bow as you try to cleanly cut through the water at high speed, IMO. But I'm not a boat guy...
