Glad I opened this one up! Great find Shirley, Bruce

This is such a great shot, Shirley! The title is perfect for it as well. I wonder if one gets to heaven faster on rollerblades than on regular shoes? They look so still, like statues planted on the road specifically to force cars to stop. You've got a real contender here. Brenda

You live in a funny place indeed. More than having fun, they seem to be doing some obligated activity! endika

This is quite a scene, Shirley. Divine wheels...lol. Great catch!!

Quite a strange image , but a great catch. I bet they don't play roller ball.

Quite a strange sight! Perhaps blades were deamed a more efficient means of transport than walking or driving? Thanx for sharing!

Guest		14-Jul-2008 21:23
This is a surreal scene, I have never ever seen nuns on roller blades before, I do hope the pope approves! I like the one you posted in the forum as well, I wouldn't worry about the technical element at all as the scene is far more important.

It was so so funny Richard! They proceeded to go up the bank of grass and cross the Mississippi River on the Ford bridge. There was a good breeze and the wind whipped through their robes. They were a hoot!

Shirley, this is hoot. There is just not one bit of enthusiasm of animation that I would expect from anyone on skates, of any kind. How do they contain themselves... HAHA
