…RailRoad Crossing
for a railway car
that doesn’t really run on rails
And now a jump rope riddle from times past: Railroad crossing, look out for cars, can you spell that without any r’s? My followers of a certain age (you know who you are) may not play as you probably know the answer. This is for the young whippersnappers out there.
Run on over to Frizztext’s blog to review more letter Rs

That last shot is really terrific, Angeline – full of time, and place, and breathless under that shimmering heat haze. Love it 🙂

Thanks, M. I haven’t been out into our back roads in a long time! And seeing this photo reminds me that there is such a wonderful abundance of places all around me to photograph.

Would be interesting to see what winter light does to this scene. Have fun 🙂

That’s an interesting idea! We live in one of those crazy areas where summers are so very hot, and winters can be so very cold making everything look rather bleak, but beautiful in the bleakness. I’ll have to remember to return to this area for a photo in winter.

Well…I can’t argue the point, you’ve given me an answer….not the right answer, but you did as told. You are pretty sly dear Rommel. And because no one else really gave me a correct answer either, YOU WIN! Now I do believe you are in Japan at the moment, so don’t even begin to think I’ll ship a prize there. I was thinking that you tell me which of your posts you would like reblogged and I will do that, plus put it on Twitter if you are linked to Twitter.
You are too funny 🙂

Didn’t know it comes with a prize. What’s the right answer? #200 will be an appropriate post for reblog. That or PEOPLE.

That’s a great riddle and yes, I do know the answer. Let’s let others have a crack at it. These photos were a great response to the challenge, Angeline. That last photo does look hot! 102˚? The only way I would have made that shot is from the window of my air conditioned home.

Somehow or another I thought you might know the answer
I took that last photo early on in the beginning of my photography enthusiasm. I would go out every day no matter what. Now what matters 🙂

Tis not fair that the professor can’t play. Oh well. Anyway, love railroads. Reminds this professor of Westerns for some reason…

Not many people seem to be able to play, so don’t feel like the Lone Ranger…this is in Northern California, but the area I’m in is surrounded by ranches and cowboys (and girls) so you’ve hit it with the Westerns feel.

Thanks, Ilargia. I live in a really old town and this is on the outskirts of town. The day was blazing hot, and I think some of the shimmer of the hot sun is picked up nicely in the photo.
