This one's been here before, in a thread of its own, it is an older one, too (from 2006), and I then called it "This bike's too loud":

hmm maybe it's just me but it's kinda creepy and a bit perverted walking around and taking pictures of random strangers wearing nothing but bikini and in some of the photos the focus seems to be on their chests rather than faces which are either motion blurred or out of focus or something

What a stupid thing to say. The same thing could be said of you taking pictures of dudes, dude...Oh and do not feel obligated to follow the thread so that you don't get offended...

This is hilarious. Do you know any story behind it? Lets just say that these bikes, supermoto or motard (basically a dirt bike with street tires) are a blast to ride in places that a motorcycle usually can't go or shouldn't be, and generally be a hooligan on. The fact that he's evidently in the middle of some park, sitting on a bench with his bike on the sidewalk, probably drew some attention from the authorities

**LaFoto** · 10-06-2009, 11:16 AM

No sorry, I don't know the story, so I only guessed at why the police came up to talk to them. They are in the very centre of a little town, the central square, and I happened to walk the streets around that square when I came upon that scene. But I was on vacation at the time, too, so I had no means to even later find out about what had happened.

Here's another street scene taken while I was away on vacation, this street is absolutely ancient, dates back to Roman times, and is in an excavated Roman settlement in Turkey, i.e. in Perge, just outside Antalya:

Here's a few I've taken over the years. I'd love some feedback for improvement. Also, a question. Do I have to have a model release of public photo's I want to enter in comtests when the prize is money or equipment? Almost all contest rules I've reviewed call for one.
