Ooooops! That crown has slipped down a little....must have happened when the wearer saw a vision of a famous photographer approaching, and shook his head is disbelief!
Picturit: He could not believe that he would finally meet the Queen of the road....

HAHAHA! Caught in the act. It wan't until he passed me that I realized what I had just seen! You were much quicker on the draw! grin
Picturit: It happened so fast, I only had one shot and realised you were in it too smile
I did not want to take a picture of him when he racing towards me. I think he could have used one of your bells, you posted today..... grin

Oh, a wonderful discovery -observation- serendipity! Yes, I see Queen Ginnie, too! Heel mooie foto, Astrid!
Picturit: Thank you, he was so fast that I almost 'lost' him in the crowd.

It's good to have the camera ready at all times, as you do Astrid - brilliant catch, with a bonus in the background
Picturit: Thank you, Lisl. He was so fast I had to go by instinct wink

What intrigues me the most, is that dish cloth hanging from the back of the chariot.
I see Ginnie too. These chairs have made a huge difference in many lives.

Hah! Love it! Good for him! Let's hope he does not run Ginnie down smile
Great shot Astrid and catching Ginnie too! smile He hasn't lost his sense of humour! I've got that tune in my head now grin
That's the spirit
Picturit: I think this guy has a great sense of humor.
Astrid.
I didn't catch on at first, I can understand your reticence at taking a face on shot of the poor chap, it seems intrusive doesn't it.
Picturit: I know it is not very polite to take a picture from the back, but I also could not have asked the question, can I take a picture of you??
He could have been born that way, or an accident or a gunfight....
Astrid.
I love how Dean Martin always sounded slightly drunk when he sang!

A well spotted picture Lady P
Picturit: I think Dean Martin needed a few drinks to smooth his throat wink
Thank you Bill.

That is a smart crown need Astrid.
Picturit: He felt like the King on that road, he was racing like he had to go to the bathroom badly....
Astrid.
Another nice street scene, with Ginnie in the background !
Picturit: It happened so fast, I realy wanted her in that shot too.
Astrid.
I have seen a few folks riding these vehicles, but none with a crown...
Picturit: This was the first time I saw that too.
Astrid.
Nice shot Astrid... he looks happy being the king of the road... great selective focus to disguise the approaching spy with the cameragrin....petersmile
Picturit: He was racing around and knew what he was doing. I could not resist to NOT take a picture.
I am sure the other spy would have taken a shot too grin.
Astrid.
Terrific shot Astrid! He's certainly got a pretty good set up!
