Got to go watch the Blue Angels air show here in San Fran yesturday. Outside of the show being, well... the same ol' show, I got to watch it from a pretty darned cool place this time. And while there I came up with a few pic's that might interest the electrcal geeks in us all. Like the lighting circuit below. A friend of mine is an Engineer for the Golden Gate Bridge, and got us to the top..... [This message has been edited by e57 (edited 10-08-2006).]

I guess the guy who drilled that weatherhead out 30 years ago thought that no one would ever check his work out, much less the entire world! Ah, the internet....
Who woulda thunk it!

All those zip ties on the conduit are an install by some Berkley siezmic monitoring team and are temporary. And reguardless of the violation, I think they were better off there considering the tripping hazard...

Yeah Bob, I had perma-grin for most of the day, and it was a very nice day for the location. Sunny warm, with little wind, normally it is like a hurricane up there. And it took a few minutes to get over the hieght thing, and loosen the white knuckle effect.

I would have had the white knuckle thing going on for a bit as well.
The thing I thought of was imagine running the conduits up there. Looks like dropping things like screws, back clips, chunks of cut pipe is not an option with the size of the openings in that deck.
Also the long trip back to the truck for the one item forgotten.
