Colleen Braun September 03, 2004

I would be pretty nervous if I saw that in my rear view mirrir...LOL, great capture... #164980

Wally Orlowsky September 03, 2004

Very clever shot, Allan. Does your Driver's Manual say that they have the right-of-way? #752739

Allan L. Whitehead September 03, 2004

Thank you very much, Colleen, so was I , eh… (he, he, he) Actually 'Donald Cherry' is putting in a 'spider (eeewww) today so these seven 'bug killers' ae to protect me. Wouldn't be nice if we really had something like this to deal with the 'maniacs' we see on the hihways up here, eh… Thanx again, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #752744

Allan L. Whitehead September 03, 2004

Wally, thank you very much for the great comments. On the sailing race course if you're in the right and he's bigger, he has the right of way. I learned along time ago that anyone, with a gun, who gets in my way, has the right of way, eh… (he, he, he) thanx again my dear friend - your good friend, ALlan #752753

Kelly Abernathy level-classic September 03, 2004

LOL! I love this Allan - so well done! So creative - this is really a great idea! One of my favs! :) -K #752757

Allan L. Whitehead September 03, 2004

Thank you very, much Kelly. I really appreciate that, my dear frined. Driving back from Welland yesterday the idea popped into my head, watching all the crazy drivers on the highway 9not me of course, after all I wasn't crawling along on my gut with my behind in the air, eh… doesn't everybody take pictures while driving along at 80 kmh? (Actually its a lot easier when the camera has the automatic focus turned on, eh… - Allan #752772

Paul Michko September 03, 2004

I hope that is not one of those mirrors where objects are closer then they appear. LOL!!! Great job on this, Allan. #752781

S J September 03, 2004

Ah! Finally I've landed here.... This is one of the most creative shot that I've seen recently. Such timing and perfection! If you could do this while driving then I'm afraid to think about what you would've done when you were out of the car....lol. I'm jealous...lol. #752794

Another incredible image Allan!!! #752913

Debra Booth September 03, 2004

Great compilation, Allan!! #752926

Allan L. Whitehead September 03, 2004

Thank you all very much (Paul, Sanjay, Jeff, Cathy, and Joy) for the great comments and very kind words. This was a fun project and was enetered in anticipation of my favorite attraction and event here in Toronto each year, "The International Air Show" which is seen, literally, by millions of people for three days as during the show they fly all over the city and they are not quiet, so its impossible to niot be aware of them. The shoulders of the 'major' highways in the area are paked solid for three hours, and believe it or not, in a city of 3.5 million, traffic is almost non-existant from 1-4 each day - it trully is fantastic - Allan #752932

Nancy Grace Chen October 16, 2004

Great idea... hope you don't mind if I make a suggestion. I'd blur the edges of the "mirror" image because right now it is pretty obviously cut and pasted in... other than that, excellent concept, very creative. Congrats on your finalist.
