Stop...Here? (26 of 365)

"I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva, I'm gonna go go go there's no stopping me..."

Classic song by an awesome group. Although I have a few others of their tracks that are more of my favorites, this song seems to fit today's photograph.

Obviously this is a place where you are supposed to stop before proceeding with your vehicle, but I wanted to post this for its uniqueness and as a reminder to a lot of us. We see these everyday but this one caught me off guard when I noticed the arrow included with the traffic signal. It is just barely squeezed between the word "STOP" and the stop line, so it begs one to wonder if it was really necessary or if the stop traffic signals were added as an after thought? These sorts of things keep me awake at night, ha!

This photograph was taken with my Nexus One as I was cruising around the city this afternoon. Oh, and for those of you who are still stuck on the artist and the song from the beginning of the post, Don't Stop Me Now - Queen.

"...I blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots..."

Ah Garth, with classic songs like that and his impressive stage presence, it is no wonder how he has achieved so much! I was even lucky enough to be one of the thousands to see him perform on his nine night comeback performance in Kansas City, MO. He is definitely one who has inspired me with the guitar.

The other is my grandmother. She started teaching me when I was young and boy was that a challenge. Being left handed, I was learning to play the guitar upside-down! "But the years went by and the rock just died..." Basically my family moved and I was not receiving lessons anymore. I started to pick it back up after college, but it is one of those things you have to really sit and put a lot of time into. Time that I do not have much of, ha!

This was taken with my XSi using the 18-55mm lens and flash. The guitar was sent to me from my grandmother when I mentioned I was wanting to get back into playing again. I'm trying grandma, I promise!
