A while ago, I was asked to wait for my ride in a hotel parking lot.
Thinking nothing of it at the time, off I went. The best plan of action seemed to make myself visible in the parking lot. That would, I figured, make it easier for friends to quickly spot and steer towards me.
Bad idea.
It took too long, and others noticed. Some wanted to help perhaps and some were just curious.
"Need a ride?"
"You lost?"
"Can't find your car?"
"Waiting for someone?"
Yikes!
Sometimes I forget about my appearance as a woman and do things most women would not. Loitering in hotel parking lot with a setting sun was another example.
On the other hand, why can't women loiter in a hotel parking lot during a setting sun without drawing unwanted attention?
Well - this was another valuable life lesson not otherwise possible without Nora.
So, next time I see a woman alone loitering in a hotel parking lot, I'll ignore her.
That's a joke...ha ha ha!
BTW - My friends finally showed up and shot this picture.
"Nora - why do you look angry?"
Grrrrrrrr!
Enjoy,
Nora

This is what I stick on cars that hog the space, making the space next to it useless. This is really helpful when you are ticked off after wandering around a parking lot or in your own neighborhood to look for a space. Perfect for major cities like San Francisco and NYC with parking problems.
I used to use the Newgrounds Mickey Mouse "the bird (finger)" one, but that was a little crude, especially the swearing.
If you get this at full size, it is a perfect 8 1/2 X 11 photo. Just print, cut, and stick on any car you just hate.
Lastly, take a photo and post it on Flickr. That'll leave a lasting impression.

The parking spaces are narrow and directly adjacent to the water. Sometimes a car hits the water or the driver when he steps out of his car. And if the car keys slip out of your hands treble hooks with a strong magnet is the only solution.

Most of Portsmouth has permit parking, which means if you live in a residential street with a sign like this you need a prepaid permit. The times vary from area to area and our slot is 4-6pm, which suits us as Tim gets home from work between those times and it means parking is easy for him. Portsmouth is the most densely populated city in the United Kingdom, with a population last recorded at 208,100, with around 37 people living on each football pitch-sized area of land. This means parking is challenging too, hence the parking scheme.
Most people have mixed feelings and it's annoying have to pay to park in your own street, but it does cut parking problems down, for us anyway. Most of my friends have been and gone by 4pm during the day so they don't need a scratch card and generally an evening visitor wouldn't come till 6pm.
This road is round the corner from us and a regular road for our dog walks. The pigeon on the post caught my eye and I had to get a photo on my phone!!

The carnival has been a frequent motif in my fine-art photography for the last 15 years. I have traveled to many fairs and carnivals around the Midwest to take photos. This past weekend I noticed a Ferris wheel set up in the parking lot at the Columbia Mall parking lot in Columbia, Missouri. Later that evening, I loaded my gear and went up for some shots at sunset and dusk. The Ferris wheels at carnivals always take a long time to gather the passengers because it has to stop frequently to load and unload. As a result, it can take some time for the wheel to rotate for motion blur photos. If there are other rides nearby, you have to play the same kind of waiting game. After many shots, I captured this picture of the Ferris wheel and Yo-Yo in motion with ominous clouds in the background.
The photograph was taken with a Sony ILCE-7RM3 camera with a Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM lens at ƒ/22.0 with a 6-second exposure at ISO 50. The processing was done with Adobe Lightroom CC.
