Reading a text message on his mobile this young man in a fashionable suit did not look up once as he was crossing the major road. I hear and read increasing number of warnings how modern gadgets take our attention away and increase risks. iPods and mobile phones are almost omni present and as much fun and convenience they provide they also require the owner to pay some extra attention.
I came in last seconds of this “road rage” incident. The lights have changed and both parties disappeared but it was obvious these two guys were not happy with each other for one reason or another. Some spectators mentioned a number of punches were thrown too but no one really knew the cause of this altercation.
It took this old man a lot longer than the time alloted for green light to cross this major road intersection in the middle of Sydney. Luckily all the drivers waited very patiently for him to cross the road. It must be quite terrifying to know you are that slow every time you have to basically risk your life because the lights timing is aimed at young, healthy people only.
This beautiful Asian girl stood on the opposite side of the road to me waiting for the green light. Yet, I could clearly see being deep in her thoughts she was somewhere else.
This country road beyond an old timber bridge has been tempting me for a long time. I have taken literally dozens of photos from this point and yet I’ve never been satisfied with the resulting photograph. The attraction of this scene is quite obvious with the tree canopy creating a tunnel over simple road. Few tree trunks add strong character and the road signs define a border between here and “there”.
