Hey Jojo, Nice pic. I think we can call you "The Camera Whisperer" You just seem to have a way with it and truely enjoy taking pictures. It was always work for me, holding my breath, steadying my hand, waiting for the bird to turn to me and wink ... etc.
As a side note ... I was trying to place your sig quote and all I could figure was the Doobie Bros. So I popped it into a search engine and .... it found YOU before the doobie bros.
The light on the road is what makes the pic. This is all about drama, and you've captured it. If the light wasn't bright off the street, it would be just "any" other pic of a nice street with lovely trees.
Nice hometown by the way.
