I don't know what it is about goal posts. I have seen more photographers spend their film shooting goal posts than just about any other inanimate structures. Save buildings. Or rocks. But still, people are fascinated by the contours of a playing field. I don't blame them of course. I never really tire of seeing photos of community soccer fields that dot the globe. This goal post has more of an American Football shape, and I guess thats fitting, but here I'll admit I wish it were a post for that other kind of football. Go Giants anyhow.
On the side: First Ride Magazine is today's Communication Art's Web Pick of the Day. My photos of Kanae front and center. Alright.

That grass could use a mowing.
If I win I get 20 dollars. If he wins he gets 10. It is a little risk that will make my ejaculations better. Or at least that's what the pamphlet said.
So, yes, go giants.
pretty photo too. I forgot to say that.
Alright is right. Nice job.
Nice shot. Empty goalposts and playing fields are always wonderful subjects -- I think it has something to do with the organization of a space into areas and zones that have meaning, in which crossing certain lines or zones mean something -- the way an arbitrary line drawn on a field can take on huge significance for people who choose to believe in the rules of a particular game they are playing.
Anyhow, for more on this, see the excellent book Homo Ludens by Johan Huizinga.

Its an oddly magnetic subject matter for sure.
