 Traffic is becoming unbearable. Or is it just my increasing age? Either way, it's a bugger. Casually shot while on a red light. Straight out of camera, zero post processing.

Hah! That is exactly what happened, wedged into the competition because I had nothing and didn't have time to think of something else. I registered on DPC in 2008, but somehow never got onboard. I have 17 years worth of submissions to make up for, so I'm trying my best to support DPC by taking part as much as I can - I'm having a lot of fun doing it, too!

This is a really cool photo. It's my favorite one in the challenge even though I feel that it doesn't meet the challenge... lol. I guess I should have come up with an entry for this challenge showing 'photos wedged into challenges just because they didn't have anything else to post' as a pet peeve :)
