13. That's the bridge linking LA with Hawaii

That's LA on the left, and Honolulu on the right, in what used to be Pearl Harbor.

Those cranes are actually about 200 miles high, sitting atop bridge towers about 1,300 miles high.

And that white ship that went under the bridge leaving a huge wake? it's the size of Delaware.

[DS1]

:wow:

[Teddy_Salad]

I wish it was that bridge of yours, I really do. But it ain't.

But you are heading in the right direction......well, sort of.

[Donkeyboy75]

16. Is the bridge in Japan?

17. No

But you're getting warmer.....well, kind of.

Put it this way, it is closer to Japan than it is to Brooklyn.

[Teddy_Salad]

28. Hey

You did well! To go to the trouble of researching the answer shows initiative.

I like initiative.

[moof]

29. we must protest in the strongest possible terms

That is an exact copy of the lionsgate Bridge In B.C. Canada

doesn't it strike you as the slightest bit odd that the Architects
are Not Known !!!!!??????

"Not Known" are the exact same architects that designed and built the Lionsgate bridge.

[Teddy_Salad]

30. Are you kidding? They are completely different

Here's the Tsing Ma Bridge in Hong Kong, designed by world renowned Hong Kong architect Tsing Mao Not-Known.



And here's the Lionsgate Bridge in B.C Canada, designed by internationally famous Chinese/Canadian architect Lionsgate Tsing Mao Not-Known.



I fail to see the similarity. :shrug:

[moof]

31. anyone can tell you photoshoped the lionsgate photo

[Teddy_Salad]

33. Actually, on closer inspection...

I think you're right.

Look closely at the alleged "Lionsgate Bridge".

Is that a can of Labatts Blue floating underneath it?

:)

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. Look different to me

Anyone claims plagiarism on that must be trying to see through an old leather-bound tome of dirty limericks.

[moof]

34. Oh a smear campaign huh ?

first watergate then lionsgate and now an expert on
watercolors calls our poetry collection into question ?

Futhermore you quoted the message completely out of context
there was no claim of plagiarism.

The phrase was " a plague on isms " but what else could anyone expect from anyone with yellow art in their sig line.
