Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 16 December 2008 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.
HEY GALS/GUYS, GOT KICKED out of AM3 yesterday, so didn't visit many, sorry about that, and
PS it's a BUS...not a train lol ;)
Thanks my dears
@Bookfool: Hey Book close enough...it's a bus ;) lol
Barbara from Florida, United States
Incredible capture! Great timing. It appears the harness race is on the mound of snow and the cars are the spectators watching.
My expression was "Whoa" when the image opened. 5 stars again my friend.

@Barbara: You're so nice to me, thanks a lot Barb ;)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Very well seen, Lorraine, you choosed the exact level to make the "trompe-l'oeil" and look like the train horses are running on the snow.
Cheers from Mallorca
16 Dec 2008 5:18am
@Paco Díaz: Thanks very much Paco, glad you enjoyed, and you're back home...did you take any photos of the snow while you were here?
Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Géniale c'est bien vu Lorraine, une scène en cadrage provoquant une forte impression de spectacle.

@Marion: Thanks very much Marion, it sure took me by surprise ;)
dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
Brilliant brilliant! All those different forms of transportation in one photo. I wish our trains looked like that rather than being covered in graffiti.
16 Dec 2008 6:44am
@dobbino: It's unusual I know, couldn't believe it myself...it's a bus though ;) lol
tyan from Singapore, Singapore

@tyan: Isn't it amazing what they thought of, I was striken by it...in a abstract way lol thanks a lot sweetie
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
This is such a clever shot! I really like the composition. That train must look very interesting in motion!
16 Dec 2008 7:08am
@Andrew Gould: Unfair of me to add that it's a bus after receiving a dozen comment, but there you go Andrew, it's a bus lol and thanks so much!
Nina from Hamburg, Germany

k@ from Paris, France
Ah mais tu sais que deux secondes, je me suis dit : Comment a-t-elle réussi à incruster ces chevaux ainsi ?? :o) Petite fûtée ! Je me suis fait piégée, ce qui est déjà la marque d'une bonne photo !
16 Dec 2008 8:47am
@k@: Just plain luck darlin' ;) merci beaucoup k
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
On a l'impression d'avoir le choix entre 3 mode de transport: train , voiture ou cheval :) Bon les jokeys sont en manche courte. Tres belle illusion.
16 Dec 2008 9:51am
@akarui: Fameux commentaire lol merci beaucoup Olivier :)
Betty from New Jersey, United States

16 Dec 2008 11:46am
@Dimitrios: lol hardly hurt, thanks a lot Dimitrios :)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Wow, what did you do to the powers that be on Am3 to get kicked off? Lorriane, are you misbehaving? Heh. I like this shot, and yes, I did think it was a train - a boxcar or something like that. Thanks for the word that it's a bus.
16 Dec 2008 12:34pm
@Viewfinder: Yes misbehaving, staying with IE instead of Firefox, tsk, tsk, tsk....Thanks a lot Vf :)

Coucou Lorraine !! Comment vas-tu ?? Je suis de retour du Burkina depuis quelques jours mais besoin d'un peu de temps pour "digérer" tout ce que j'ai vécu et beaucoup de boulot pour préparer notre projet... je vais essayer d'être un peu présente sur Aminus quand même et vous faire partager quelques photos... :-))
C'est rigolo cette photo, on a l'impression que les voitures sont au spectacle... tu parles d'un bus, il est géant, incroyable !!!

JJ from Jersey City, United States
WOW this is so cool, when I first opened this I thought the horses were racing on the snow and the bus(which I thought was a train) was behind them well spotted and captured soo cool
16 Dec 2008 2:25pm
@JJ: I assure you it took me by surprise, luckily I'm quick lol thanks alot JJ

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
une histoire de chevaux ... sous le capot, sur le bus, devant le sulky, j'ai tout d'abord cru que c'était un train ... c'est magnifique !!!
16 Dec 2008 2:40pm
@marianne: Tu n'es pas la sure j' t'assure ;) merci beaucoup marianne

dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
ooh -- beautifully caught!!! racing horses on a moving bus! love that green hue -- so bright!! so what happened yesterday? you couldn't get into Am3? was it slow -- or just unresponsive? i have experienced times when it wouldn't work at all either... but it has been super recently (although i have been on vacay!!!) :P glad to see you are 'up & running' again!! :)
16 Dec 2008 4:49pm
@dj.tigersprout: Thanks so much Dj, truth is I have trouble occasionally because I use IE instead of Firefox...lol
Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Sweet... For some reason the effect captured makes me think the horses are actually moving... Oh, that and the cars seem to be the ones watching the "race" XD
16 Dec 2008 5:08pm
@Koushiro~光子郎: I like your interpretation Koushiro, lol thanks a lot!
@Alun Lambert: I appreciate that Alun, thanks a lot ;)
@Ana Lúcia: Glad you enjoyed, thanks a lot Ana :)
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
Did you make any bets? Ruing through the snow must be difficult.
16 Dec 2008 5:49pm
@Michael Rawluk: Yeah I'm very lucky I won tons of photos ;) thanks a lot Michael!
Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
Excellent coup d'oeil... bravo ! Une photo tonique et dynamique malgré ce froid...
16 Dec 2008 6:08pm
@Francesc B.: Quel beau commentaire Franc, merci beaucoup :)
@yiannis krikis: Thanks a lot Yiannis :)
Roman from Thunder Bay, Canada
Very cool shot, Lorraine. Must've been quick response on your part to capture this ?
And what do you mean you were kicked out of AM3, Did you mean the administrators or you were loosing the connection with the site, because that's what happens to me from time to time, and I thought it must be hiccups on their server side..???
cheers
Roman
16 Dec 2008 8:59pm
@Roman: Got lucky that's all lol no, the admin would never kick me out, it's my computer, I'm pretty sure lol or hiccups, that could be thanks a lot Roman :)
Pixim from Nice, France
Encore une fois, un magnifique réflexe. J'adore cette voiture rouge qui doit se croire à l'hippodrome pour voir une course. L'autre voiture, elle, n'y croit pas... Bravo ;)
16 Dec 2008 9:35pm
@Pixim: Wow j'aime bien la façon que tu regardes à fonds une photo, tu vois toujours des choses interessantes et ça c'est merveilleux, merci beaucoup Eric :)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Neat shot, Lorraine ... great timing on your part.
Are you saying that using IE you got kicked off? I used Firefox for a long time, but now am using Google Chrome - clean and fast.
16 Dec 2008 9:55pm
@Judy: Google Chrome, I love the creativity of their name, I may just have to go check it out ;) lol thanks a lot sweetie !
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
A great place to watch the races...LOL. A very smart shot, I really like this.
16 Dec 2008 11:50pm
@Richard_Irwin: Thanks a lot Richard, it was a lucky shot, let me tell you, the only thing I did was to be wise enough when I left my car to take my cam with me, just in case ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
I knew it was a bus right away, you got to get up pretty early (at least 5:00 am)to slip that by me, the funny part is that I've driven a bus with the same number, 0602. The first two numbers is the year of the bus, the next two is the number in that year. We have a few painted buses I find them tacky.
17 Dec 2008 2:05am
@JoeB: How neat is that!!! lol oh come one Joe they're great piece of artistry...you're not considering legal action for plagiarising or anything of the kind?
MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
42 comments????!!!! Holy smokes!
Really fun image, nice.
17 Dec 2008 3:48am
@MontereyJohn: Hey John, that surprises you? lol It always delights me ;) thanks a lot!
standley from Carquefou, France
Il y a de la magie dans cette photo. Elle est extraordinaire. Bravo à toi Lorraine!
17 Dec 2008 7:37am
@standley: Merci beaucoup Richard et je suis contente que tu sois ici, qu'est ce qu'il ce passe avec ton Blog? je n'ai plus accès?????
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Impressive collision between cars, train, ans horses !
17 Dec 2008 5:19pm
@Calusarus: it was quite a sight Fred ;)
@Cool Daddio: Aren't I just! Love how I happened to turn my head in that direction at the exact moment...I impress myself ;)
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Absolutely cool shot my dear! It's as if they have purposely driven to this location, parked and waited for the race to begin! Excellent shot!

At first, I thought this was some kind of crazy double exposure.
