Now for something completely different, of the photoshop variety. I must say this is pretty clever and a tip of the hat to the creator-whom I can’t seem to find.
[ Image was originally found on BLDGBLOG. ]
The link for the image sent me here, then that link sent me to here. So I was not able to find out who is the artist/creator of this image. No luck.
So; my guess, it was created for some contest on Worth1000.com. If this great image is not from there I don’t know where it’s from. Wherever it’s from I really would like to acknowledge the creator.
Why was it on BLDGBLOG?
Geoff was posting about how the last Ice Age, and the subsequent landscapes-led(in a round about way) to the 1st golf courses created in Scotland.
From there that topography had golf course designers borrowing the same formed landscapes and re-creating that typography around the World, it’s a very informative read.
The above image was at the end of the post as kind of an exclamation point and was a good ending.
“Golf is a game in which you yell ‘fore’, shoot six, and write down five.” — Paul Harvey
Ice Age, Glacial fields, kettle ponds, moraines, Scottish sheep shepherds, Indian Burial Mounds, bulldozers, golf fanatics, and designers all the way to images on Aircraft Carriers via photoshop . . . it sure is an interesting world we live in.

Man this is a brutal sentence:

For very entertaining chain of comments (or rather a string of arguments between patri(di)ots like “kill ur self” up here and educated Americans, check worldwideweb.simonperry.org/golf-courseaircraft-carrier/
Very nice use for a warship – gives “smoking grass” a whole nother meaning

That is so cool.I hope some one does that for real and turn all the compartments into Hi rent condos and apartments.The Carrier I was on (CVA-59) had a 4 acre flight deck and housed 5,000 people. In turn that could meen big bucks.

I think it is brilliant. First I asked my friend if he wanted to join the Navy, he said no. Then I showed him the picture of the golf craft carrier and he replied positively. Though I prefer it with planes roaring off into the sky from its bow, I still love it!

Her Majesty`s Royal Navy uses an english invention called a slope deck. Imagine the arguing if one `rolled in` on the 18th. Would one still have to get a round in, Pink Gins included, What Oh! old chap!
