Note my eco friendly bird feeder made from recycled materials (in reality two old water bottles bodged together with duct tape in great rush, nothing beats duct tape, use it anywhere

)

Now who would paint F*** to post car colour, add skinny tires to it and add two gigantic exhaust pipes?
If ricer is dude that makes silly mods to Japanese cars, what is one for European cars?
Oh yes, spotted another, but had hot pizza box and could not take photo, one had bone stock rusty 626 Mazda, white, it had chrome huge ricer silencer on back that had tiny, maybe 1 inch hole for exhaust to come out, nice fart can

As boys love tits, here are few more
Big versions are at least in here, not sure if clicking those above gives you bigger version:
http://jtbo.pp.fi/images/road_pics/birds/
One bird got somehow insiden of my ghetto duct tape bird feeder, I still don't get how it is possible, but I did found one had entered into that and tried very hard to fly inside of feeder, so I had to help him out of trap. Must try to make opening even smaller and cover more of that clear plastic with duct tape, then it won't perhaps happen again.

It is flooding, that is my driveway, how I'm supposed to drive there? Thing is that I have to drive there if I like to get car to road.
Managed to take few quick shots of odd birds while trying to make channel that would carry water away and hopefully get yard bit dryer.

Some mild mist at this morning, would I say?

If someone is pulled over by police, he would just reply "Road was not slippery" (with Finnish rally driver voice)

I drove only 50-52 there (my car is not allowed to go faster) and limit was ~62 so naturally I was overtaken a lot as people are trained to watch only speedo.
I drove 180km in such conditions, it was like whole country would been invaded by a mist

Great pics Chris!
I especially like giant woman with HUGE vagina and old trains
Very nice sharpness, light and composition in those shots, so they are every way perfect, even you probably don't think so if you have same issue when looking your own photos as I have when I look my own photos, always thinking how this and that could been done differently
Making bloke disappear should not be too hard, but that fence is real bastard to work with, he is casting also shadow to fence which need to be brushed off with lighten or something like that. I made quick shop from that photo, took me 10 minutes and results are uglier than monkey's arse so perhaps it is better not to listen my advises
