That camo hat and that green car? :)

Not shot to be pretty, was taken from about 890 yards away. Saw other photogs that day and thought I'd check out the competition ;).

Can I take a shot at your favorite color? :P

Don't have a favorite color, any thing in the Pantone color guide will do :-\ (The car was inherited) I do have a favorite absence of color, black and white. But mostly black ;)

It's good you didn't. They will run you off if they see you up there. "For security reasons."

[logged]However, if you call their public relations office, you can get permission. What we did that day. We still had an issue with the guards however, and they made us go all the way down to their main security office, instead of calling in on their radios to check the permission. Their boss was very mad at them. We missed the blimp fly-by cause of that. But we were allowed back up. So if you do get permission, then check in at the security office and make sure you wont be bothered.[/logged]

Looks like a cool spot to for spotting. Is it like a parking structure or office building?

Hospital parking structure. Being a hospital puts it up on the lists of targets, making it a total pain to get up there, even with permission at times.
