It looks like it was raining, with the processing -- I actually like this a lot. It feels moody to me.

Oh, that DOES sound exciting. And you have certainly caught the construction atmosphere with this shot; I can almost hear it. :)

No, chickens are not cooperative, are they? Lovely repetition in this, and good detail.

I have to say, this fire trail looks like an awesome place to walk. This is maybe my favorite of your pictures of it so far. I really like the font you chose, as well. :)

Day 26, Don't adjust your set...

OK, what an interesting idea -- not sure if I'm brave enough for that challenge, though.

This is interesting to look at; I'll have to at least lurk on that side challenge thread, methinks.

Day No. 26

Fantastic shot. It brings to mind a picture from some important news story from the 60's -- the little bit of lens flare (I think that's what it is, by the tree), the way they're dressed, the way their heads are averted. This is wonderful.

That isn't freakish, but it certainly is far-out and fantastic! WOW. Love it.

Day 26 On the fringe of the madding crowd

Oh my goodness, your description and this picture made me think of the first verse of "Mad World", recorded (in its current incarnation -- I think it was originally a Tears for Fears song) by Gary Jules. Are you familiar with it? The verse and chorus are as follows:

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world

The funny thing is, I thought of the song just looking at the picture (how symbolic is that "Way Out" sign? wow), before I even read your description. It's a fabulous image, really really evocative and atmospheric, and I think it would be great for the street photography challenge. I promise not to friend-vote if you enter it. :)

Keep on telling those people Good Morning -- maybe you'll start a cheeriness revolution.

OK, for some reason that just made me get a little verklempt. I am unclear as to why. Maybe because of the 'close to a memorable day with my little girl who's growing up' nature of this shot, I don't know. I think it's definitely a keeper for you.

The picture in and of itself is of course very nice as well. Nice perspective, contrast, sharpness, and I like the way the border ties into the main subject.
