Patrolling the Mill Race Path

It was good to see this motorcycle policeman patrolling the Mill Race Path. The officers help to keep the illegal camping and graffiti under control. I was coming back to the path from a side trail when I saw two officers on bikes riding along the path. This one gave me a serious once over as he rode by, probably because I had a camera pointed at him. I didn't have time to wave, I was too busy taking pictures. :)

Nice that he's patrolling the path, but he looks a little out of place among all the trees.

Next time he will know you are also protecting nature.

A stunning and well framed shot! V

Maybe he wondered why you were coming out of the bushes. I like this shot very much, Vern. And the park people might appreciate having it too. :)

Good timing
joseantonio10-Feb-2017 19:27

A fine image, but I just think it would be better if they rode bicycles.
Gary10-Feb-2017 17:48
I guess I would be a bit leery If I saw someone pointing a camera at me. A nice image and so is that bike...

Nice looking bike! ..great capture, and it's a good thing they're patroling these paths! :)

a pleasant enough shift for the cop....quick-witted shot from you..

A well timed shot in a nice setting. Interesting to see the prevalence of BMW's in police departments these days. Interesting comment too about photographing the police, which is legal here.
Jim Coffman10-Feb-2017 14:43
Nice shot, Vern! It is illegal to photograph the police in Illinois. What a great state!!
Ruth Voorhis10-Feb-2017 14:20
Very nicely shot, great color and detail throughout.
Jack Hoying10-Feb-2017 12:17
Yes, a tall dude wearing a cowboy hat and pointing a large object at you might get anyone's attention!!

Vigilance is a two-side sword indeed, as many of us photographers know! Nice capture, though ~V~
Yvonne10-Feb-2017 10:50
