A Travel Photo: Whatcha Think You're Doin' Back There Mr ?

Today's Travel Photo Thursday shot was taken by RyukyuRu, unbeknownst to me.

But, I'm glad he emailed it today because it's a good example of something we forget as foreigners, sometimes, when we're out and about with our cameras.

People are watching you !

The photo was taken at an athletic field in Uruma City Okinawa, Japan.

A couple of teachers had a bunch of schoolkids out on a field trip.

They ain't exactly the kind of wildlife I was looking forward to shooting.

So, I went around behind the building where there was some shade.

There I was, facing the ocean, just getting ready to uncover my camera.

Not only was I clueless about the photo, I didn't know that kid was watching me, either.

He very well could have been saying, "Whatcha think you're doin' back there Mr ?"



Sunday's Silly Sign (Photo) Jun 12, 2011

The government couldn't possibly cover all the areas that need silly signs.

So, there are places where responsible citizens lend a hand.

We don't go around acting like vigilantes er nuthin like that.

Just give the foreigners gentle reminders like this:

"NO DUMRING

VIOLATORS PUNISHABL

UNDER JAPANESE LAW"

This Sunday's Silly Sign photo was captured this morning just two blocks from my house.

Right nice neighborhood and real friendly folks.

Ya'll got any good neighbors warning foreigners to stay outa trouble where you live?

If you'd get some folks to pitch-in and post silly signs around your town,

just think of the tax dollars you'd save.  And, before long people would start acting right !
