Megalophobia is a fear of large objects, which I definitely have.  This photo looks absolutely terrifying to me.  The picture of the windmills earlier got me thinking about this.  I also dislike the inside of hot air balloons and being in an indoor stadium/arena seated near the girders.  None of these are debilitating, although if we were in an action flick and had to, say, drive a speedboat between these two behemoths I would not be able to steer the boat while you shot at the bad guys.
Another fear of mine is bathophobia, or the fear of depths.  When I was searching around on the internet for these fears I found a really good explanation.  Remember the cover of Jaws?  Or it might’ve been the movie poster.  I’ll go look for a pic but it featured a swimmer (a tiny speck), a huge amount of water and a shark swimming up from the depths.
