You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Thanks Peter.  Although the Rainbow-Zebra crossing is only a few months old, it is already repaired as the the purple stripe desintegrated  ;)

It looks like the other colors are also desintegrating.
