If you have been following my 365 blog you know by now that I live on top of a canyon. Several houses down the street from me the electrical wires branch off from our street and run down into the canyon, stretch across the freeway and reach into the next neighborhood. Since the electrical poles and wires are set on steep hillside full of brush the Gas and Electric company must check them out via Helicopter.
The poles in the canyon are set below my house so when the helicopter starts flying towards the cul-de-sac of the canyon they are literally flying at the same level that my house sits.
The first time I saw them doing this it almost gave me a heart attack! Nothing like looking out your back door and literally being eye to eye with a helicopter pilot.

Fantastic picture - lucky your camera was to hand. I suppose that is one of the benefits of 365.

Cool shot!
Amazing photo!!! I can actually see that the pilot has a piece of broccoli stuck between his two front teeth!!!
This is such a great capture!
That is a great shot. The contrasting colors and light, and composition, make for a perfect photo.
This is really a great shot!

Wow, what a great shot! :) I don't think many of us get this opportunity, to tackle a helicopter head-on. :)
Cool shot -- you stopped the blades!
