Rush,Rush, Bustle, Bustle, Hurry, Hurry...

Today was cold but with a bright sun and fluffy clouds with dark edges in a deep blue sky... a great day to wrap up warm and take a camera for a walk in the countryside. At one point in my walk I crossed over a busy trunk road via a pedestrian footbridge and was struck by the contrast between the stillness, peace and clarity of the countryside around me and the frenetic activity of the traffic below. This image is an attempt to capture that feeling for B&W February.

Nice capture of the craziness we all experience, each day a rushing blur! Love the shot, processing and POV, Richard!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

This busy road is rather like an artery of activity in the midst of a quiet countryside. The processing makes the details pop!

[Joan Robillard]

Looks like your snow is disappearing fast. Sometimes the world does seem in a hurry to go nowhere.

[Susan]

You've captured the sense of movement. Great with the slight blurring.

You captured the movement perfectly Richard, I love the contrasts. Those clouds really help to make the shot

[Gavin.J.Cotton]

Superb shot. The motion and stillness work well together. Monochrome add that subtle difference to it:)
