Wrong Idea

Wrong Idea is for the literalist. Dragging their head across the asphalt. An attempt at following directions without thinking of personal safety.
It is certainly a product of a West Side driving accident. You would imagine that with such big highway they would find it easier to not hit things on the sidewalk. Guess not.
It is just one of those funny sights that inspires great humor. A belly laugh and then I take the picture. A moment of levity while watching out for those vehicles on the sidewalk.
Plus it provides balance to the grimness of the other pictures. Pictures of desolation and emptiness. Quiet creepiness needs a balance on the scale.
So I try to show humor. Try to get a laugh. Mostly for me.
