Snail in danger near Zadar, Croatia [EXPLORED]

An amazing amount of snails along this stretch of road between Zadar and Pag on the Croation coast. Manouvering a fully loaded bicycle around them takes skill...

Excellent composition. How in the world were you able to catch such a fast moving creature - you must have had to use an incredibly fast shutter speed. Well done!

I really like the image, but more for drama than humour.

oh yes, I remember how fast the trucks drive along the 'magistrala', I almost got run over myself a few times. this photo leaves one burning question: did the snail make it?
i am imagining it got detached by the force of the wind when the truck went past , it retracted back into the house and rolled off into a ditch somewhere

@ nerdvin - It's a long road to perfect catching the fast moving ultra-snail in movement.
