This success is again a simple demonstration of you just have to be there even when failure seems certain.

I wanted to do a very long exposure at the Costco gas station from a moderate distance. It could not be done because Costco parking lot is that busy and I could never gain a decent position to take a 4 to 10 second shot. Further,(and alarmingly), one of the workers or guards at the gas station perimeter gave me the evil eye when I was trying to set up even in a position that I did not want, but it was the only position I could find though it was not acceptable in the final analysis.

This being the situation, I went to my dry cleaners to clean a suit and thought, “What the heck, I'll shoot this intersection.”

Interestingly, in the left turn lane was a policeman that also was watching me carefully as a photographed the intersection for a couple of minutes and he then hung a rapid and emergency u-turn.

I thought he was coming over to question or arrest me, but he sped up north and I did get several good frames with mirror lockup of him leaving. A good accidental picture, just being there is often essential ingredient of photography.
