I had already submitted another picture, but I was driving down the road near my house and this tank was just kind of sitting there on this guy's heavy equipment lot. I was busy, so I had to stop back later.....the tank was GONE!!!!

I found the guy around back of his shop anmd said,"Hey, where's the tank?".

He grinned and pointed towards his shop.....it was inside.

This was a Russian tank that had been captured, decomissioned, and sold off....a movie company bought it, and it was used in the filming of "Saving Private Ryan" and then sold off to a private owner after that. How it found its way to a central Pennsylvania heay equipment dealer is beyond me!

Tank you for tanking this picture. I hope your score isn't in the tank. Ok, ok, enough. Nice perspective in this picture. Nothing like looking down the business end of a killing machine. I wish the forklift wasn't sitting behind it, but you might not have had the option of moving it. Nice capture.
