Day 191: Stop
I sometimes feel held back by something not entirely of my own making. I watch the world go by, zipping along and off to do something fun, interesting or useful while I sit there at the stop sign waiting for my turn.
I may feel like that at work sometimes, but then most people feel like that at some point too. When things aren't moving or I want them to move or I feel held back. Am I really being held back though? Am I just waiting at the stop sign and it's my turn to go. And when I do go, just how fast am I going to go and how hard will I drive?
But beyond following the traffic rules, I am not one of those people who just stops and if you are one of the other 365'ers, then you aren't one of those people who are "stopped" either.
This was ranked as 2 in explore and has not dropped off yet, but it may later.

Love the juxtaposition of the stop sign with the motion of the traffic.

Thanks all! This was a really fun shot to take. I had was looking for the right place to take this shot where I could stand nearly in the middle of the road without worrying about getting hit and it had to be on a busy road. I found a new bank near an intersection so I could watch the cars all line up and I was out of the way. But a lot of people were looking at me as they drove by. I took several shots at different speeds and this one really got a great blur and you could clearly see what it is.

Thank you all so much! It rose all the way to #1 and has slid to #2, however I'm not complaining! Emma's Skittle's photograph is something I find very interesting.
This has been a very amazing and wonderful day. Thank you!
