Well Kevin I hate to say this, but... with your penchant for driving while looking into a camera I'm glad I was driving behind you in Fort Worth!!! :lol:

Hi,

The entries have an inclination to making this a " I, behind the wheel " challenge. :D

But peronally I found those shots all the more interesting; Olaf's and Kevin's entries are both interesting in showing mood and character.

And David's about to start the "I, behind the camera" flow of images. Nice shot David Antony.
