"Begin with the end in mind" Stephen R. Covey, management guru
OK, Mr. Covey, but that holds for business and commerce. In traffic and other areas of life I think it's good to stop from time to time. That's why you also say:
"Strive for win-win situations" Car drivers stopping for the traffic lights get into a win-win situation by giving priority to someone else. Alas, there are huge fines for not stopping when the light is red to prevent lose-lose situations. We don't have these fines in social life so we have to deal with many, many lose-lose situations :(. A a little greedy monster is inside us.
Waiting for the bus I shot this picture of the crossing at the border of our village, it was 8 AM and rather misty, just the right atmosphere for travelling to one's work and thinking these thoughts over :).
Thank you for visiting my p-blog and leaving your comment and advice!
I'M ON HOLIDAYS UNTIL 9TH OF AUGUST, I POSTED SOME IMAGES IN ADVANCE UNTIL 31TH OF JULY. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON AND HAVE A NICE HOLIDAY!

Mysterious atmosphere...

Thanks, Evi! But standing there waiting wasn't mysterious at all :). Mist can give fantastic effects, especially in dark.

I like the way you think...early morning? Here I thought it was a night shot...either way, it's a wonderful, dramatic image :)

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine, only in the early morning and from 5-7 PM we have that much traffic on this place, all people on the move to and from work in Leeuwarden, the capital of the province, which is about 12 kilometers further.
Looks cool and damp, and reminds me how dark it is at 8 am in this part of Europe in winter.

This looks like evening more than 8AM!!! It must have quite an unpleasant effect on the people...and mostly on drivers! Lots of thinking,too, for so early in the morning! It might be the weather! (LOL)

This is wonderful because of the contrast between the still street lamps and then the moving car lights. Combined they make an interesting photo. Moreover, I admire that even waiting for the bus you are trying to see like a photographer. That's an inspiration.

@GJC: Thank youGJC! But don't envy me because I'm really photo-mad last couple of months, just like an addict when I see something special I MUST take the camera out of its bag and feel some weird kind of thrill when I press the button, I have to take care...
Great shot with slow-motion!
