- 26th April 2005 - Security

Sitting in a queue of traffic today I got to thinking about the
'lock all doors' button fitted to the car. Not so much the button, but
when I press it. It's a subconcious thing really, but says a lot about
my perception of where I am.

Approaching red traffic light in dodgy city area... easy 'hit' the button.
But there are areas of town where I suddenly notice the red light
glowing. When did I push it? What was I thinking at the time? What would
the people outsde think if they knew.....

Quiet day then on the photo front, but continuing the motoring theme...
3 pedals and only 2 feet.... no wonder some people find it difficult,



and 2 potential sources of pollution.....



OK I eat there too, but had tuna pannini before tonight - mind you
where did the tuna come from and what method was used to catch it. You
just can't win.

Off to watch the snooker!

Good photo Ian, it appears most of us do it at one tme or other.

I like your thoughts with this picture. I find it interesting that even when we take maybe a picture that is not understood by others, it has somewhere some meaning to us.

Nice DOF with the hint of the CD in the background. Locking doors is a good idea - especially with cameras etc in the car!

Safety first is not a bad or silly thing....good shot too Ian.

Hmmm.....sitting in traffic does give one time to ponder all kinds of things....

A healthy dose of paranoia never hurt anyone. When security becomes habit, that's a good thing. Now, more importantly, nice macro shot.

I know what you mean, about locking the doors in dodgy areas - I do it too!

The kangoo had a button but the pug doesn't, I could be car jacked at any moment! :-o
