CROSSING THE LINE

For the Thursday Transglobal Challenge, topic: Stepping over the line, courtesy of Ray Pettit

Hey Ray, you better not spend the bail money! I was stopped and questioned for taking this picture :^O Evidently manhole covers are national security secrets ;-) Guess I stepped over the line! You guys are always getting me in trouble :-)

John Beck28-Sep-2006 22:30
Hehe. LOL. A great picture. Maybe the manhole cover is made of some unique metal? Maybe the challenge SHOULD set up a bail fund. :-) I mean, supermarkets, manhole covers...what's next? Did I say, it's a great picture. Like it.

Great shot, BTW. You definately caught the tempo of the city.
royalld28-Sep-2006 21:13
Paranoia is running rampant.
One county had an all-out manhunt for a guy who took a picture of a school bus a few weeks ago.
Soon photographers will only be able to take self-portraits.

All in the name of art!
