No, that's why they're not in the photography section. Wasn't sure if that section was for pictures you've taken or for any type of picture. I posted one there and got to thinking about it. So I put these here.

I've never been to Bolivia and never plan to go.

I just got them in an e-mail from a friend.

If you will notice in the picture of the people standing there. Those walls are none to high. The walls appear to barely come up to their knees. Not much to stop several tons of speeding car or truck.... :o

Well, I think I found where my buddy got the pictures...lol.

I was thinking more of gran turismo 3 or 4, there are a couple of tracks with tunnels like that.

Reminds me of I-80 over Donner Pass...

So who's going to take the Piper Cub and fly around in that area? I wonder how it looks in FS...

Try Donner sometime in a 76 ft truck and trailer and 79,000 lbs behind you pushing down the ice. Yeehaw! ;D
