Default Interesting perspective

Ran across this today and being an engineer thought it might be appreciated by those of you that haven't experienced the Dragon.

But that is an interesting way of looking at the Dragon!

Thank goodness for civil engineers that make curvey roads!

Though, in all honesty, it's the 150-165 degree switchbacks that I like
