Neons are in! Street level matching colors, No. 5
Talk about serendipity! Look at this guy's helmet juxtaposed with the back of that stop sign on the corner of SE Stark and SE 6th Avenue! How cool that I snapped when I did and the camera got that split second in time! Wow! I'm excited about this photo.
Oh, before I get totally distracted by my excitement, look off in the distance, south down SE 6th. See those parked vehicles, many of which are red? They match the man's backpack. There's a north-facing red stop sign, too.
OK. I found something else that matches--there's a teensy bit of bright green there at the corner to the right of the bicycle's front wheel. When I clicked on the original size for an up close look, I saw that it appears to be what's left of a bottle brush, crushed and torn up by traffic, no doubt. And it's the same color as his jacket! Whoopee!
I took this photo on November 9, 2011, on my walk to work.

I wanna be that guy! (gal?)
Thanks, Ken Mac!
Love the color! The blur of movement makes the color stand out even more.
The speed is amazing here too. Sometimes I like the effect of NOT trying to pan with the movement! Love it!
