Weekly Photo Challenge: Launch
Here is the first weekly photo challenge for 2012. I was slightly worried that it wouldn’t be continued, since there’s no longer a postaday/week 2011. These are not inspirational photos to launch you into the new year, instead the photos remind you to be cautious before you launch yourself into traffic. I took the photos while in Beijing and Shenyang. I honestly don’t think anyone followed traffic laws. I found myself closing my eyes at times.
People really know how to get around in a bike.
Add some wet snow and the traffic is even more fun.
I took this photo standing on a walkway bridge and saw a few accidents or close calls.

this is fun, well … scarey fun, and a great interpretation!
January 6, 2012 at 7:12 pm
Yes, it got scary at times. I like seat belts. Thanks for your comment.

YIKES!
January 6, 2012 at 7:13 pm
Oh that was exactly my feeling! I was often happy to get to my destination. Thanks for your comment.

wow, and I think being a passenger when my dad drives is a serious health risk, this is way worse!

Oh, I always hoped that they knew what they were doing. Thanks for your comment.
January 6, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Incredible! Hope you weren’t driving when you closed your eyes 🙂
January 7, 2012 at 10:45 am
Oh, I didn’t drive at all during my travels in China.

to launch into the traffic or not to launch, that seems the question here 🙂
January 7, 2012 at 10:53 am
Oh very true, I had to trust myself getting into taxis. Thanks for your comment.

Images that reminds me of how it was driving around the Philippines. No seat belts, no traffic lights, anything goes. And yes, you have to brace yourself before launching to a street of craziness. But I guess we all adapt. I’ve seen more accidents in the U.S. freeway than on the streets of no rules. Exciting and thrilling post! Have a great weekend….

Perhaps those individuals are more prepared for disaster, since anything can happen and it often seems crazy. In the U.S., people are more concerned about talking on cell phones. Oh well. Thanks for your comment!

Wow – this might actually be worse than the traffic circle at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Great post!

I’m not sure, I’ve been there too and that looked bad as well. I’m not sure pedestrians have the right of way. Thanks for your comment.
January 7, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Great idea for launch.
January 8, 2012 at 9:03 pm
Thank you! 🙂

Hi,
Nothing gives more satisfaction then the comments of readers for an author. I would appreciate if you take some time to read my novel “The Lords Of Kumaon” I would love to hear from you about my first work. I sincerely hope you would encourage my book. Please visit http://thelordsofkumaon.blogspot.com Thank you.

Let me look into your blog and book. Thanks for stopping by.

After your accident photo, I’m glad not to launch into driving on that road…
great entry!
January 8, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Luckily, I wasn’t in any accidents but this seemed normal driving to everyone. Thanks for your comment.
