 'Traffic' was a joke. I figured 'Tiny Ponies Terrorize Town' would be a little too OTT ;-)

This is certainly not a great photo, but I believe it was captured in the spirit of PJ. I was just driving down the road when 2 tiny ponies came running at my car. I grabbed my camera (which was riding shotgun) and snapped what I could, hoping for focus, before they veered off. What I really wish I could have gotten was a shot of their owner chasing them (he's still behind the house in this shot).

Thanks for the comments, and special thanks to Melethia!

you can't get much traffic round there, surely? ;-)

Extra point for the alliteration in the title. :-)

I guess we would need to see the traffic to make this more believable, also it looks as if the ponies are headed off the road rather fast anyway. Cropped it has some potential, but as is they are just too far away.

I like the ponies, but reading your title, then looking at the image with no cars, it's hard to see how they tied up traffic. It also looks like they crossed pretty quick. It does make me smile though.

Heheh, did you shoot this from inside your car? Is that part of the dashboard in the lower right? Photojournalists are so lazy.

It is titilatting title for this topic. Nice headline to bad you could't clone in about 80-100 more of them.

Humorous! But I imagine what some see as traffic being tied up is differnt depending upon where you live. This photo made me laugh just when I needed one. Thanks!
