Wow Jimmy, that is a really cool photo.

Nice

Getting ready to cross section some new pavement on Interstate 24 about a mile south of the Ohio River at Paducah. Unfortunately, this is looking west and that's sunset. Contract called for 50' cross sections to verify cross slopes in this 1/2 mile section. Lane closures only allowed between 8pm and 6 am, so had to shoot CL and outside ep while slow lane is closed for guardrail and curb work, then go back and catch inside ep when fast lane is closed for shoulder work. Already got both outside lanes, hopefully can get both inside lanes in 1 night later this week.

Also had to show up at 2:30 a few nights to mark temporary striping after milling so they could open back up by 6am, and marked it again after repaving. That's for the first 3 mile stretch in both directions beginning at the Ohio River. Night surveying in the middle of an active interstate, what more could a guy ask for?

Taken on iPhone, can't get it rotated.

Thanks Brad. It's a cool job. The building we are working in is almost 100 years old, and we are laying out column lines for interior layout

That's me on the instrument, and C Billingsley (Chris) took the picture.

Rotated

Thanks Doug

I've always really enjoyed surveying, but having this little guy go with me makes it even better!

I was doing an as-built having to do with ADA compliance at a shopping complex. The owner wanted a grade on the basement floor, so we set up where we could see through the one little window. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and flipped on the light. I'm not sure who was more surprised.

I know you run this and it's your show, but ....

I think you should compile the pictures actually used during the month of May and for the May photo, we vote on those.

Some of these pictures don't ring a bell at all and are probably submitted here for the first time. These should be June pictures.

Now, that's a winner

Bet she made for a great deal of entertainment.

Had a similar set up once, through a bathroom window. Didn't find anything that interesting when I turned on the light.

I never have grasped the rules or concept of what was going on with the "contest". Then from
submissions, I realized there weren't any. So be it. It looks like if you work in the surveying field , you just submit or share a picture of your liking of equipment or whatever from any season or year for that matter. Pictures on calendars usually have some nexus with the month they illustrate.
Personally, I also prefer pictures thar actually show a person or persons doing something survey related.

The scenic instrument pictures are becoming redundant . I guess with all the robots, scanners etc, one would have to submit selfies.
Maybe in December someone will don a Santa suit in the field for a day. 😉

A suggestion

I believe the intent is to post photos taken sometime during a specific month. The following month is when they are to be submitted. That way a whole month of possible photos can be entered within a week or two and then voted on.

A suggestion

I couldn't agree more. Let's try to keep the photos taken during the referenced month.

Thanks

The instrument operator was getting ready to set up the base unit when the party chief told him to pull the truck up a little bit so he sets down the GPS unit on the spare tire of the trailer they were pulling and the rest is history.
I haven't got the repair bill yet but I don't think it's going to be cheap.:-/
