Pretzels Hawker Photo

Photographer’s Note

I guess that even in the United States this is an unusual setting for selling pretzels and other snacks.
This is at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, in San Diego, California, during the Miramar Air Show 2005. The aircraft is a Lockheed C-5A Galaxy.
Location in WikiMapia: 32.8723787, -117.1365738.

Nice viewpoint - it looks as if the giant aeroplane is about to eat the pretzel stand :)

Actually the people milling around help to emphasise just how big this particular aircraft type actually is.

ola Francisco,
You've got to add humor to your categories. This is one of the funnist shots I've seen in awhile.

Olá Francisco ,ser Militar nos States é mesmo outra coisinha.Boa foto cheia de humor(dá a sensação que os pilotos aterraram o avião para comer um hamburguer),boas cores e definição.
Abraços .

Hi Francisco,
This really is a well composed shot! Good POV from an angle. Interesting subject rarely available to be seen like this except for professionals. And hilarious idea about pretzel stand about to be eaten.

Francisco,
I was browsing through your photos and spotted this one. This is a good shot. This plane is huge isn't it? You have a great sense of humor as well.

Francisco,
O mais incrível é que essa coisa voa. A imagem é muito bonita e está muito bem captada, em especial pelo bom POV.

Abraço

Olá Francisco,
esse é dos bitelos mesmo né, e ficou curioso essa barraquinha de rosquinhas na frente dele. Ainda tenho vontade de entrar assim num Antonov 124 ou 225, dizem que é maior ainda!
Parabéns e Abraço
