    Some Tonka !

    of course when you visit places you can only get what is there or happening and here I was lucky when the group I was with visited the maintenance section of the gold mine.

    Some Tonka !

    Cool perspective!

    I don't know anything about physics but I would be amazed to learn that the little thingy placed in front of the rear tire will actually prevent it from moving forward. I wonder if the person who put it there would feel comfortable lying on the ground in front of that tire.

    That's a good demonstration of the size. I'd be happy about the size of the wheel chock except that the usual rule is to put it under the wheel diagonally opposite the one being jacked up. We can't see it in this case.

    Photo newby here, but so agree that the demonstration of size is jaw dropping. Great shot indeed

    WOW! What is this huge thing ? Great sense of scale. Thanks for sharing, any other shots from the gold mine if possible?

    Well you wouldn't inflate that with a foot pump. Nicely caught to show the size without needing a super wide to capture the whole thing.

    Good capture, John...That is an enormous truck! And yes, Mike...the phrase should be "some idiot who put that chock" should be shot!
