Green Lights. Slow Reaction. I was a passenger in the car. As my husband and I waited for the lights to turn green, I thought I would take a photo of the scene in front of us. I never thought my reactions would be quicker than two motor bike riders idling at traffic lights in the heart of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of Australia .......but I present to you the proof. The lights are green and these two riders are still waiting. Their slow reaction could have been due to distractions to their left......but whatever! I was quicker then them. (The things I take pride in! Ridiculous really......but at my age I think I will make an exception just this once and enjoy the moment!)
This is my entry for Friday's Street Photography challenge curated and sponsored by 
Due to the fact that the 2018 Commonwealth Games are about to open on the Gold Coast on the 4th of April, the streets of surfers paradise is a hub of activity everywhere you go at the moment. Just out of interest, I thought I'd include a few pics of the colourful fencing which line the streets near the different sporting venues.
Pretty cool aren't they?
I think I have worked out what is helping my lightning fast reactions these days. Its all the practise I am getting flitting in and out of steemit posting images etc. (That's me, below, with my trusty walker on wheels helping me manoeuvre my way around in steemit........in case a few of you don't see the resemblance.........bless your hearts.)
