The Tysons Monster

I had the opportunity to approach the blue monster the day Obama went to Annandale. I know I am not supposed to be here. But I thought some would like to see. The others, feel free to do what you do best.

How did you get so close the construction site? Do you work there?

I can't wait for them to finish building the metro so Radiophile stops starting the same gay threads all the time!

If you are indirectly involved maybe you know the answer. The METRO board is arguing over whether to put the Dulles stop underground or not. Wouldnt that have been something they decided before they even broke ground?

The two phases don't have to be completed. The line would terminate at Wiehle Avenue in Reston. Beyond Tysons, it's essentially a express commuter line since the stations will be well beyond walking distance from downtown areas in Reston, Herndon, or Ashburn.

One would think. And I for one wondered the same thing. . It is not only the Metro Board - or whatever they call themselves. A lot of other groups are in the "discussions" as well.

Actually, I was against the whole project from the beginning. You can check my threads here from a couple years ago. I am not an anonymous poster.

Radiophile,

I enjoy your high quality pics, the above poster has no clue about photography, and perhaps only understand what it is like to be Gay (is what he is saying)..

Is this Hershey Highway comment from you own personal experiences... are you saying you would rather post pics of those events? I heard you need a zoom lens to capture you micro-pen!s?

By the way, nice Metrow Pics!

Once again, a big thank you to Radiophile for the cool pix. Always want to look, but navigating traffic and trying to see the construction would be stupid. I count on your pix. Keep em coming.
