Title: Freeways' Junction
Post by: Jim D on July 30, 2007, 02:32:14 AM
I took this from a location underneath the junction of the 405 and 5 freeways, north of Los Angeles.

I "copied image location" from my gallery and pasted it here but as you see, it pasted  as  a very small size.
What did I do wrong?  :-\

Looks like you copied the location for the thumb rather than the picture itself.

Thanks O'Henry. I did that, which worked but it still only posted a link to click on to see the pic.
Is there a way to make the large photo show up here immediately, without having people click on the url / link?  :-\

(I ended up linking it to the pic. in Photobucket, which makes it look a little distorted, so may delete that).

I can't help you figure out what is wrong.  I did click on the link and saw your picture. 

I have driven that streach of highway, and find the view interesting. 

I am sure someone here can help figure out the problem.

I fixed your link.

I right clicked on top of the large one and chose Properties and copied the address or URL and pasted that URL in here and put [ img] and [ /img] around it.

It's quite an interesting photo too!

There's something compelling about overpasses.  Unfortunately, it's difficult go get in a good position without risking life and limb.

Here's a night shot of the new High Five interchange in Dallas:

Nice shot!

Why is it called the High 5?

Five major highways converge on that point, and they all run over and around each other, and carry traffic off in various directions.   It's an incredible tangle of highways.

You know as drivers we drive over converging highways like this and rarely give it a second thought, let alone to take a picture.  I would never have thought of a picture like this.

This is what I like so much about these forums.  You get ideas for pictures of your own.  Thank you.
