As I was driving home from work one afternoon, headed south on I 110, a massive golden structure came into view. I squinted, trying to make out what it was. - At first, I thought a carnival had come to town because the mystery structure looked like a giant roller coaster. But the closer I got, I realized, it was no roller coaster.
As it turns out, I wasn't the only one trying to solve the mystery of the giant golden structure that had suddenly appeared along the horizon of our bay ... Apparently, it's some kind of rig that fixes oil wells. Story is that it docked here at Pensacola Bay because water conditions were too rough in Alabama and Louisiana. Click here for the whole story - It's really interesting!.

According to the Pensacola News Journal, each of the golden gantries weighs 3,400 tons. That's around 6,800,000 pounds each!!!
The picture to the left, as well as the top one above, are some of my favorites because they show the diversity of scenery here
In the picture to the left, you got all sorts of machinery/boat type stuff in the center. Then, off to the right - a gorgeous waterside mansion graces the horizon. Topping it off, some sort of unique bird species hang out on the rocks towards the forefront...
