At Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap outside Mehringdamm U-bahn sometime before 5pm on a Sunday. Apparently the best chicken döner in Germany (they do chicken or vegetarian). Certainly the longest line.

You probably know that I like doing funny pictures. This one has an extra level of funny for me, something that relates a lot to how I see life. It is funny because the little girl has a phone and can't see why they are queuing up. I suppose it is also funnier that kids are getting mobiles younger and younger these days. However for those that are Dr Who fans (I am not really) it might be that this is a Dr Who conference and they are all going inside his space ship telephone booths that are bigger on the inside than the outside, so they aren't really there to use the phones at all. Of course people that get it the first way may not even realize that there is another joke. Yes, life is like that, so often we just don't get it.
We were given two pictures for digital challenge #39 www.flickr.com/groups/380546@N22/discuss/72157603476770966/ some old telephone booths and a little girl on a tricycle.
This is what I did. Started with a picture of Little Shoal Bay as a background and added everything to that as cutouts from other pictures. First three copies of the telephone booths at various distances, the further ones in mirror image to make it more interesting. Used bits of the ground from the various pictures to make a stretch of concrete and patched it all together various ways. Then some people in queues moving towards them. Then Dr Who and his cute sidekick Rose plus a Dalek. Put a model Dr Who in the phone booth with transparency so that the writing on the window still shows. Then the little girl on her bike and her very fancy cell phone in the back. Added shadows of the people and the bike and a sort of reflecting shadow of the Dalek. Finally the caption.

A kilometer away on a football pitch, Solidarités had been registering about a thousand newly arrived people since 08h00.
A broad mix of people were waiting patiently and good humouredly in the rain to collect their tokens entitling them to plastic sheeting, cooking sets, blankets and food that would be handed out a couple of days later.
women queue up to vote for the local body (panchayat) elections in bundelkhand region of uttar pradesh.
with more funds to spend the number of contestants have shot manyfold. women in veils (purdah) are contesting in seats reserved for them, but often as dummies for their powerful husbands. one elderly complained that she came early in the morning to vote and lost out on the saris that were distributed as gifts from the contestants around afternoon.
By 11:45pm the queue was getting quite impressive. This represents probably 95% of the literate population of Staines. Maybe more.
Today's prompt is 'queue'...such a strange spelling Why all the extra letters? lol. My 'queue' is made with stitched squiggly lines that could represent flowers but NOT! Can you see what makes up this 'queue?' Watercolors and spray acrylic ink (which is now on my art table and all my materials and sketchbooks! lol.
About 2.5 hours' wait. Not too bad with food & a book. And worth it. (Better to have the foresight to book, of course!)
We were at Howletts Wild Animal Park and I knew my Ricoh wouldn’t capture the animals in their enclosures so l took the opportunity to do some street photography.
More buses pour in at Magathane to fill CNG. A few minutes later, 4-5 more buses joined the queue behind these!

A queue of people at 9:30 AM in front of a Department Store, Osaka. The Japanese, particularly females, have been entertained by the Department stores for decades. Japanese Department stores are not just selling goods but they cater for any needs of women who have time and money to spend all day long. They are now merging into smaller number of bigger stores as well as refurbishing by spending loads of money in order to survive.
When the door opens, from here it takes about 90 minutes to get served in the fish and chip shop at Beamish Museum (the food is cooked in the authentic 1913 way).
