 The Police are a three-piece rock band consisting of bassist/lead vocalist Sting (Gordon Sumner), guitarist Andy Summers, and drummer Stewart Copeland. The band became globally popular in the early 1980s, playing a style of rock that was influenced by jazz, reggae, and punk music. Their 1983 album, Synchronicity, was number one in the UK and the US and sold over 8,000,000 copies in the US. The band broke up in the mid-1980s, but reunited in early 2007 with the announcement that they are undertaking a world tour. The tour is scheduled from the middle of that year on until mid-2008, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their hit single "Roxanne" and also, to a lesser extent, that of their formation as a group. To date The Police have sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Rolling Stone ranked The Police number 70 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

Greg, how cool is THAT! I love the Police. I still love that oh-so-famous hit "Every Move You Make".

This is awesome!

Before I looked at the photograph info I knew it must be that big lens of yours. Good job capturing that thing in flight, I know how difficult that can be. I didn't really care for The Police when they were popular but really learned to appreciate them after Sting did a few songs with Frank Zappa many years ago. That music fits like a pair of well-worn shoes when I hear it these days.

Great capture! Whenever I see a cop in my rearview mirror, I always start singing this part of that song "you don't have to turn on the red light"

Nice shot - good detail for a long focal length and I like the motion blur.
