Hardly working

A sinkhole in the drive way led to a 2 day repair job involving 6 workers. How many of these men were actually required to complete the job is unclear. Every time i went by they were standing around not doing much of anything. I guess this is one way to get the economy moving again.

Looks like a typical road-work site to me! One guy working and 6 guys standing there just looking. Love the selective coloring on this one!

Glad you're still here in year 2 (read your bittersweet comments about that) - looks like I can learn some things by studying your photos so, again, appreciate your being here.

[Kerri]

Great color

Our tax dollars at work

[Mrs. Smith]

haha! I've wondered the same thing sometimes.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This must be a federal requirement because I have seen the same situation in more than one state! Great use of the splash of color to add a little humor to an otherwise ridiculously frustrating and common experience.

Great processing - lots of interest in this shot.

[TJ's World]

Very nice processing!

Having read and contributed to your thread, as a second yearer I thought I'd join you on your last 6 months. Us veterans got to stick together! As for this picture...hahha, it's good to see this type of 'working' goes on world wide. You see it everyday in UK!! :-)

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

Very effective processing. Reminds me of the old (politically incorrect) light bulb jokes: How many (insert your own noun) does it take to change a light bulb? Tee hee hee...look what I found - http://wilk4.com/humor/humorm321.htm

I love the processing! It seems like there's one guy to look at the hole, another guy to supervise the guy looking at the hole, one to make sure the porta-potty doesn't go anywhere, and three to watch the truck.

@melissapike Good analysis!

You see that quite often too many haed hanchos and one worker. this might not be the case in your photo..very nicely captured..lots of colours in this shotl

[Yoella Offir]

Lovely street photo and I love your selective colours. Well done. I stilol do no know how to do it.

[Allison Williams]

@yoelao Ilearned how to do it in a workshop using Elements. Like a simpler version of PhotoShop. You do it with layers.

[Phil Howcroft]

allison, selective colouring at it's best. I use element too and selective colouring is about as complicated as I get with PSE !!

[Louise & Ken]

Your use of selective coloring probably serves to emphasize just how many men it (supposedly) takes to fill a tiny sink hole!

I was going to vent a bit more about this stimulus thing, but best I don't!

[Louise & Ken]

Allie, he IS on the PP...just refresh it a couple times. Thanks for thinking he should be. He could always draw a crowd...even as he takes his last bow...

Should I be wishing you a Happy Anniversary today? I seem to recall we shared the same number of years...was it the same day, too? (Our 42nd today)...

[Della]

I like the way you did selective color---amazing how they stand around all the time

[Lois P]

Funny that! They do that here too, must be work ethic ha! ha!
Happy Anniversary to you too :)
Good shot!
