To finish my posts about a silly collection of windows of cars and trucks in front of me in traffic over several weeks in Tampa FL before I retired.
Rear Windows:
Adding to my Sepia Saturday challenge, as well as Tom's Signs2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers is the local football team
Ah ha, I could read this expiration date, 03-08. Thus this was taken between March 07, and August 2007 when I moved to North Carolina.
wish I had that bumper sticker!


...Barbara, you have amassed quite a collection, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy that I no longer have to drive in city traffic (much) except to doctor's appointments. But Asheville has less traffic I'm pretty sure.
DeleteA PBS mind in a Fox News world! That sums it all up!
ReplyDeleteYes, and at least NPR and PBS are surviving.
DeleteHow were these shot? Did you have a smart phone then?
ReplyDeleteNope, just a little digital Kodak camera...auto focus at least! And many stop lights!
DeleteWOW! That's quite a collection..........and organized!
ReplyDeleteNow you too can enjoy stopping in traffic.
DeleteGood use of your time at red lights!
ReplyDeleteBetter than texting! Which was just available on Blackberries at that time, I think. I had a flip phone. And a PDA with a stylus!
DeleteYour wide-ranging thoughts turn even traffic into something interesting. Good job Barbara
ReplyDeleteBetter than day dreaming, though there was probably a lot of that also!
DeleteI used to study other vehicles like this, mostly when stopped for endless roadworks.
ReplyDeleteI am always curious about why people used to decorate their cars with their opinions...which they have pretty much stopped doing.
DeleteGetting a feeling of life as one long queue... ;)
ReplyDeleteAh - definitely a philosophical approach.
DeleteNice collection, you captured a slice of life in the traffic zone. :)
ReplyDeleteIt really didn't take long to have a lot of photos. My job entailed driving to various places to purchase supplies for entertainment at the senior apartment building where I was activity director.
DeleteThis was a fun post, Barbara, I always enjoy taking photos of vanity plates and you have captured some as well. Bumper stickers are another interesting source of photos.
ReplyDeleteThere just don't seem to be as many these days, at least where I now live...bumper stickers. I am glad you do the fun license plates.
DeleteOh my! Make nm glad not to be in Tampa traffic .
ReplyDeleteA place where having air conditioned vehicles is a must!
DeleteIt's always fun & interesting to see how other folks' license plates read, or what they put on their cars in the way of slogans & whatnot. That PBS in a FOX world sticker is great, but sadly, too true.
ReplyDeleteI imagine your clever montage is what a state trooper sees every day. My newest car has multiple tiny cameras hidden around the vehicle which it uses to identify potential obstacles while parking or collisions while changing lanes. It's unsettling to think that with security cameras on buildings and traffic lights we are increasingly photographed everywhere we go. Must remember to smile for the camera more often.
ReplyDeleteYou have amassed quite a selection -- perhaps you could be a scout for the Captcha computer security people. Amazing the stickers and slogans folks post on their cars. They are indeed a home away from home.
ReplyDeleteYou certinly ha da busy time driving and taking ll those photographs - what a collection !
ReplyDeleteThe PBS Mind sticker made me laugh.
