Case (for the defence?)
14 October 2005 (28)

Fovant, Salisbury, UK

The first photograph taken on the wrong day.
But there is a good reason....


I was travelling to see my SO yesterday afternoon, stopped at a junction,
when a taxi driver slammed into the back of my Mercedes at high speed.

My trusty Jessops camera case is badly dented; but the two cardboard boxes
(one holding a couple of adapter rings; the other, my favourite accessory, my rubber Coolpix lens hood...)
so far appear to be the only casualties (the contents of the boxes themselves are okay, though!)
inside the case -- which was in the boot/trunk of my Merc, directly in line with the point of impact.
(Not bad, to say my car was several inches shorter afterwards...!)

(The taxi was yellow. I shall never be able to listen to Joni Mitchell ever again....)

Wow, strong case, it did the trick then. Your poor car though!
