23 february

Beginning of a Black & White Week

BASE SECURITY

It's a grab shot so it's not as sharp as it could be
They aren't thrilled with people taking pictures around bases these days

So I grabbed what I could & slipped away undetected under the murky cloak of - um - daylight
(since it obviously ISN'T dark yet)

So much for my SPY story . . .
=P

Ahhh, my old job!! I don't think the "jarheads"? would have minded! lol

Interesting shot. They don't look that busy, so you could have asked them for a photo! Although they maybe don't look the most welcoming of folk...

Guest		24-Feb-2004 21:28
Hehehe, it's fun trying to be all covert sometimes...nice shot!

Very interesting capture, at least they weren't looking at you :)

Guest		24-Feb-2004 05:49
Yah..Virginia..they don't take too kindly to that here either. :) I even have problems when I work for the post paper. I have to carry credentials with me. Did you dog crawl to the bush?

brother_mark		24-Feb-2004 03:50
LOL Jeanne! And yeah, you're lucky they didn't shoot you. "Security" is pretty overkill these days and not really that secure.

Guest		24-Feb-2004 02:25
Well done although the camoflauge they are wearing is NOT working! I can still see them!! They should get a brick print! It would work better! Actually, on second thought, WHAY are they wearing camoflauge AND those BRIGHT NEON COLORED VESTS!! What an idiotic idea!! LOL!!!

John Buffin		24-Feb-2004 02:16
Glad to hear they didn't pummel you. Nice capture. Dangerous, but nice.

Jill		24-Feb-2004 01:38
LOL Pete! You are something else.

Guest		24-Feb-2004 01:06
They look more like military police. Are they not?

Guest		24-Feb-2004 00:07
way off base... :) Nice, interesting pic.

Linda Alstead		23-Feb-2004 23:08
Scary but good!

takes me back to my youth living on-base, they look lightly armed, most of the gate guards i knew were carrying SLR's and and the ever faithful browning 9mm some of the building personel had what i think wee MP5's but i cant remember that far back, and still i was a hellion and had them chase me! Nice picture and well captured (glad you were not)

Guest		23-Feb-2004 22:22
Great shot! I used to live on a military base when I was married to my first husband.. This is such a familiar site. Great tones! -- angela:)

Guest		23-Feb-2004 22:18
I think the off base thing goes pretty much without saying...

Lara S		23-Feb-2004 22:15
Pete, you are a hoot. :)

virginiacoastline		23-Feb-2004 22:14
I'M VERY OFF base, Lara . . .no smart remarks, thankyouverymuch I just work there =)

Lara S		23-Feb-2004 22:09
Nice shot. Do you live on base? near base? off base?
