Idiots and Trains

What is one thing the average driver can't stand? Well of course one answer could be a slow driver in the fast lane, Highway Patrol posted up in the most annoying spot possible, or maybe even that damn check engine light. However, the answer I was looking for was waiting for a train, and during this trip for the crew of a southbound, they would see three cars try to beat the train. One was a truck just south of Maxwell, which a buddy and I saw, another in Arbuckle, and then another here just outside Williams. However, this driver was particularly stupid.
Although my friend and I didn't see this happen as we were taking photos at the time, another friend who was one of the crew members explained to me what happened. As the train was approaching the crossing, a white SUV went around the gates in an attempt to beat the train, but then suddenly stopped. Although there was nobody in front of this car, whoever was driving then proceeded to backup almost into the gate, and due to the angle of the crossing got within only a few feet at most of being hit, narrowly avoiding an expensive and embarrassing trip to the auto shop. The crew obviously was pissed, and the conductor got out to yell at the driver as they passed by. It was only after the power had passed that my friend and I on the ground noticed the SUV, and we laughed knowing well that driver probably needed a new pair after that.
Very early, very windy and very cold, but nothing was keeping this person from a selfie. Luckily the young are beyond danger - even when sitting outside the barrier. Just please... don't sneeze.
(Very impressed with Pure Raw's improvement on this one. The details really jumped up and the noise vanished)

Sand dunes at Porto Pino. South Sardinia.
They have become a tourist attraction, so the idiots write their epitaph on the sand.
(You can see other pictures of these dunes in my album "Dunes" - link in this page below at right)

Dangerous surf at Newcastle's main beach meant it was closed to swimmers and flagged as such. The bloke centre frame decided that didn't apply to him, jumped in off the rocks out of frame on the left and proceeded to head south through the surf zone. He made it, with a sizeable audience on shore, but with no regard for the lifesavers who would have been obliged to rescue him if he got into trouble.

"Keep this area clear"... bah... don't they know i'm a rebel who's all about breaking the rules!!! so there... for some reason...

I recently had the pleasure to sell a picture to Paul Rosa, a fantastic humor writer. And if you have not seen his book it can be purchased on Amazon at www.amazon.com/Idiot-Letters-Paul-Rosa/dp/038547508X/sr=8...
I want to let you know Paul besides being a great writer is a very kind person. He sent me an autographed book, which was a pleasant surprise to receive.
Every once in a while I do make a sale from my flickr account, mainly from people who just send me a flickr mail. I do appreciate it. And I hope if others would do this I might be able to afford a DSLR. I have also sold pictures in ads for magazines. And I have been approached to sell some pictures for a power point presentation for a hand bell choir.
Some of my pictures are currently on sale in downtown Lynchburg also. If you would like to support my photography, it is much appreciated: send me a flickr mail.
Photography is my passion, Unfortunately, I cannot pursue it as avidly as I would like. I operate on a very small budget.
And a little hint, my pro account is about ready to expire. If you feel in your heart to to give a gift of a pro account. I will gladly send you an 8x10 picture of your choosing in my photo stream.
And thanks to all for those who visit. It is indeed a pleasure that you enjoy my humble offerings.
Warmest regards
bob
I just stamped the bloddy f... idiot who jumped into the picture when I took it - and this idiot was the very same one taking lots of pictures of his girlfriend in the graves we where visiting before - off course with flash and without any respect for other people (you can not see anything after a flash explodes in the middle of a room without any light) or for the old place (the color remained visible the last 4000 years, but after a few thousand flashes nothing will be left of it ...)

This sign in the boat parking area at Tinchi Tamba Wetlands says it all. A reflection on a section of today's society. Need I say more?
Copper theft is rampant these days, the railways suffer badly from it because electrics tend to be needed along tracks for signalling and points and sports clubs who have overhead lighting are another long suffering target.
What a loser, 6am I am awake and like an idiot taking pics at the morning mist...
Please see it large:
Poster celebrating Brexit on the wall of a factory that has now closed because they couldn't afford to export their goods to the EU anymore. Absolute fucking idiots, ruined so much for all of us.
I normally wouldn't put up a picture like this up but I feel this shouldn't happen.
Shot story, was out in Phoenix park, Dublin In Ireland, Just for your average walk get some air the maybe some nice pics, the usual. Sat down on a hill near a duck pond. these 3 people came up and started feeding the Swan that was sitting quite happly the other side of the fence near the pond. Then this Idiot (putting it lightly) jumped over then fence, I guess to show off to his girlfriend/friend. As you can see the swan isn't to happy about this and starts to pecking at him and as you can see he garbed the swan by the head/beak and pulls the swan closer, the swan is struggling with this and is not happy. The "Idiot" pull the swan in for a hug. sadly I didn't take a picture of the "idiot" lifting the swan up. This kind of thing is just not right. once the swan was put down, the swan puffed up to make him self look bigger but he was abit disoriented then the "Idiot" just jump over the fence and walked off. I don't know if this is a male or female I'm assuming its a male because the female was not fair away on there nest. I'm hoping this wont effect the swan to much and they stay with the nest.
If I'm not listening to music as I build, there is inevitably one song that gets stuck in my head, and I'll generally hum it until the project is done.
This time: "The Way" by Fastball. Great song.
...exit to eternal summer slacking...
what should we make of this guy, vern?
he's a strange one, no doubt about it.
strange doesn't even come close. does he know what he's doing?
well, he seems able to do certain specific things. . .
that are completely childish and inane.
true.
but he's totally incapable of completing even the simplest, everyday tasks.
don't blame me, man. I didn't vote for him.
I didn't know you vote.
I sure as hell will now.

Torre Astura è un presidio militare che si trova sulla riva del mare tra Latina e Nettuno. Attualmente è raggiungibile solo via mare o tramite una passeggiata di circa 30 minuti nella pineta che si trova all'interno di una zona militare. Il fatto che si trovi all'interno di una zona militare, ha sicuramente favorito il mantenimento della struttura, evitando accessi turistici indiscriminati che avrebbero potuto deturpare l'ambiente. Purtroppo è in stato di abbandono e alcune delle mura circostanti sono già crollate. Anche il porticciolo interno è in stato di graduale deterioramento. Luogo davvero molto suggestivo, soprattutto all'alba o al tramonto.
Siamo andati in 3 per fotografare la Via Lattea sul castello, e dopo qualche scatto per ravvivare un po' la serata abbiamo deciso di farci questo autoscatto... c'è voluto qualche tentativo per ottenere l'esposizione corretta, ma alla fine ce l'abbiamo fatta... e devo dire che la cosa più difficile è stata tenere i piedi al posto giusto come il maestro Filippo suggeriva. :-)

Torre Astura is a very old military outpost over the seaside between Latina and Nettuno. It is placed in a military zone and can be reached only by sea or after a 30 minutes walk in the pinewood. This beautiful location has been preserved almost uncontaminated thanks to the restricted access zone. This a very suggestive place especially at sunset or sunrise.
We had a lot of fun in taking this picture... several attempts were needed to get the right exposure and most importantly our feet positioning (as Filippo really cared about this!). :-)
