Doesn't surprise me one bit, since pretty much the only trucks I saw were MAZ, VAZ and KAMAZ models. The drivers of these trucks are never sober behind the wheel.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-36992273802989034962008-08-09T07:26:00.000-07:002008-08-09T07:26:00.000-07:00This picture http://lh5.google.ca/abramsv/R7OtrqoD1sI/AAAAAAAAIYE/Y39gzesmAeE/s1600-h/1030.jpg<BR/><BR/>takes place in Belgium, and was taken because the panel the car stands on is an advertisement for a driving school.Peernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-10923175164706374222008-06-11T09:40:00.000-07:002008-06-11T09:40:00.000-07:00The picture with the roundabout-sign must be in luxemburg or france next to it, and might be staged, since the ad-panel promotes some driving licenses.

His keen sense of composition and impeccable technique has earned him a place among "serious" photographers and his prints are widely available for sale. "James Kelly Contemporary" in Santa Fe is just one of the galleries where his work is now exhibited and for sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-67650697526089341672008-02-17T01:33:00.000-08:002008-02-17T01:33:00.000-08:00The Southwest Airlines 737 photos are from an accident that took place in December 2005.<BR/><BR/>From Wikipedia:<BR/>Southwest Airlines Flight 1248 (WN1248, SWA1248) was a scheduled passenger flight from Baltimore-Washington International Airport to Chicago Midway International Airport.
