Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I think he's waiting for a bus and not too impressed with the weather. You are funny Lorraine. Great picture.

@Marion: Thanks a lot Marion, I can't express how delighted I am with this photo, maybe because I prayed that it would come out the way I saw it, and it did and it cracks me up, I don't know why ;)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A great crisp image, Lorraine. I guess he never runs out of work in your part of the country! I imagine he must like the color, white.

@Michael Skorulski: I have no idea what he was about to do, but in a split second, he seemed to change his mind as to the direction offered to him and that split second which I didn't have a hope of capturing, I've captured, I see it, i love it lol
Gary from Cochise County, United States

Did the snow pass inspection? Wonderful shot, Lorraine! Funny :-)

Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
He probably doesn't have to worry a bunch about finding work up there! :0)

@Craig: For sure, he'll never be out of a job ;)
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Glad to see he doesn't have much business. Does this mean spring actually might come your way . . . ? Here's hoping.

@GJC: It's warmer GJC and the snow is melting, wow, he's moving on ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Enjoy your humor. It looks like he will have to wait until next winter, let us hope so.
Nice bold color and framing of the shot. I like this shot.

@alex centrella: Thanks alot Alex, it's rare I take a frontal view of a person, when I haven't asked (after the fact, of course) 'cause he was gone in a flash ;)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
He sure pops out against that red background.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Une attitude très cow- boy cet inspecteur non pas "des travaux finis" mais peut-être "des dégâts constatés après catastrophe naturelle", en l'occurrence chutes de neiges abondantes. Eh bien tout seul, il a du avoir un boulot monstre si j'en croit les photos ahurissantes que j'ai reçues sur la situation dans certaines régions québecquoises !! Alors il guette le prochain bus et semble dire : "mission accomplie", je rentre chez moi.
7 Apr 2008 11:06am
@Evelyne Dubos: tout ce qu'il a à faire c'est rédiger son rapport, vraiment lol merci beaucoup Evelyne ;)
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
Very funny Lorraine.....I'm pleased to see that you haven't lost any of your sense of humour after that long winter!
7 Apr 2008 9:41pm
@Ian Bramham: lol Thanks a lot Ian, I don't know quite why this cracks me up everytime I see it, but it does, ;)
@JoeB: LOL how very astute of you Joe, and so true ;)
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
But...he seems out of job...there's no snow around to inspect!!!! Only that red door behind that is full of "eyes"! Meant for inspection,too?
