I've been trying to figure out a good way to shoot this "rocket ship" for a couple weeks now. I'm still working on it. It's a children's park in Torrance, California. Locals remember it as some kind of "make-out point." That's LA in the background...
I know, I know...shadows everywhere.

There use to be one of these near my home in Tucson, when I was a kid. I loved it!

I like the games Fallout3 and Fallout New Vegas (of course, it's not Vegas, I know) and seeing your shot I thought - that's how it should have looked like before the apocalypse. It's the rocket that transpired such ideas)))
Your works are stunning!!!
