Aha, that explains the reaction. :-)

It explains my stupidity!

The single-minded photographer at work!

That is an extremely generous interpretation, Eunice! :o)

... hit by a cyclist? then you would have been a shadow of your former self ...

... actually, if you had captured the shadow of a cyclist airborne over handlebars: that would have been a great shadow-shot ...

... and i would have been seeing rather a lot of the inside of not just a hospital but a court-room too!

Concerning the decoration: there is still some space toward the absolute brim ...

Not sure I follow you, Leon!

Well, I see, I shouldn't do two things: saying things too short and trying to bring a saying from one language to another ... Sorry about that.
What I wanted to express: the natural decoration of that concrete barrier on your picture seems slightly improvable to me.

big boy

:) Lovely image.

hello merci pour l'invitation

;-))

original selfie !

You took quite a risk! =D

In some places the bicyclist are kings of the road, and they drive like a crazy!
