 Oops! :D I was stubborn and entered this when I probably shouldn't have. The sky color was really bugging me and I had a hard time getting it to look as I remembered it. It was a strange color at the time but not THAT green. Oh well... The sun flare I left in on purpose as I thought it added validity to the scene.

Traffic really is a long, slow, crawl! I need a helicopter. :D

Good thing the cops are there to catch speeders... ;-) I sympathize, but can't get past that pukey sky. Perhaps it's smog?

...With a couple of principals watching each other's backs as well as watching to see that none of the children 'cut in line' or 'forget the rules' on the 'playground.' ;)

Too true for lots of folks! I like the sun peeking in from the left.

Lovely journalistic photograph. It looks like the New York Taconic State Parkway to me - but I bet it looks like many a road in North America. If those cops were not sitting there doing absolutely nothing about the cause of the jam they'd be sitting there picking off drivers over 55. 8.

not overly fond of the green hue. The idea and composition is great.

your windshield is pretty clean. also who the heck are those cops gonna catch? nobody is moving:) honestly not the most visualy appealing image/subject matter but definantly defines what mornign means to many of us. i think it was a good choice to leave the sun in to show it was morning.
