But didn't you attract a lot of attention, crouched in the middle of the road, waiting for the just right moment to get your shot?<br /><br />I checked out your link to the catalog of Daily Photos around the world and I am impressed by two things:<br /><br />No. 1: Pedestrian crossings around the world look strangely similar, as if trudging through city traffic was a universal human activity, one that unites us all (once we are on foot) EXCEPT FOR --<br /><br />No. 2: Australia. Not only are their zebra crossings painted in rainbow colors, but only in Australia will you find guys crossing a street on handstands (To add to the degree of difficulty? To make a pedestrian activity less boring? Because they are young and strong and THEY CAN?). Two more reason why I wish I were Australian.<br /><br />By the way, here on Long Island NY I would have to wait for hours to find a pedestrian. However, if the theme for the day was "Running Red Lights In A Big Ass Lexus SUV" I'd be done in a split second.Vivian Swifthttp://www.vivianswiftblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-87747791748160884832013-04-01T12:01:07.346+02:002013-04-01T12:01:07.346+02:00Haha, crossing the street at a pedestrian crossing...Haha, crossing the street at a pedestrian crossing is one of the most dangerous activities downunder in Australia!!
