Rebellion can kill you

Nicely captured.

I like the look of the mouse and the lady are in sync...nicely done.

[amsco]

Nice textures. Very sharp image.

[Marie Hass]

That lady made you. It looks as if she is giving you the stink eye.

Nice capture, nice conversion as usual.

The rebel goes in the opposite direction to the crowd and gets ambushed by the Indian?

What do the double lines indicate, Phil?

[Inkanyezi]

What do the double lines indicate

They indicate the limits of the street for motorists, as the raised section where it crosses the other has no kerb. These raised crossings are common where a pedestrian street crosses one where cars are allowed. Those crossings are not always zebra painted.

Learn something this morning...Thanks Urban..."Zebra painted" is a funny term.

[Inkanyezi]

"Zebra painted" is a funny term.

Indeed it could be funny, and it seems as there's a phasing out of the zebra crossings in the UK.
"In towns and villages there is a pressure from residents for councils to fit pelican crossings as they believe they are safer, so zebras are being phased out."

I'm confused Urban, are pelicans supposed to cross the road on zebras?

I wish I had Phil's ability to find a suitable 'half subject', then his patience to wait for the other 'half subject' to stroll in to the composition.

Well done Phil.

Cheers, Dave

What do the double lines indicate, Phil?

Actually, in the UK (where this was shot), they will be yellow and denote where motorists should not park or even stop and wait, causing an obstruction. They also fulfil the function Urban describes - for the drivers that haven't noticed the difference in road vs pedestrian paving materials

[Inkanyezi]

When traffic is heavy, I think pelicans are supposed to use their aviatic advantage, but mostly I see them perched on poles or other objects down at the bayside (Not at home here, but often in Miami). Their flight is beautiful (IMO).
