[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken at dusk from the top of a London double decker bus, and as the title says, "You can't get there from here", a sad story for most vehicles. I do hate it when that happens!

Take a look at bebu's ws for another direction to go!

Damn, I could not think that it was possible to be worse than in Montreal! Funny shot.

Very witty catch, luckily you were on a bus...

Funny one! Good catch, in a split second. Who wants to drive in London? TFS!

I do hate it when this happens! No direction is open. Will be in a few minutes when the lights change but, right now, no options.
That said, I would rather be driving here than in Manila and surrounds!
Nicely seen and opportunity taken.

Overload! Of signs! Or red!
Probably we have that in all big city. Heres a sharp one! Sometime it's more complex and contradictive :)

Hi Lois- this is great! I am already confused- thank goodness I'm not trying to drive in London- what a great sign! Great title and I love the colors and the timing of this shot! Excellent!

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi Lois...
"Stay put here"... "Okey, how can I go to home?".. It's a very humorous picture and ingenious shot, my friend... Also very creative... Wonderful moment and perfect shot again...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

Very nice capture Lois, an dizzying array of signs, lights, and colors!! Perfect red frame to complement. Very well done! TFS, Sam :0)

funny traffic signs Lois. Good colors and contrast. Composition is just right. what pp work you have done on this? looks professional.

Hello Lois, and there are cameras everywhere to catch traffic infringements, number plate recognition systems have been a large boost to the coffers of the department of fines! Well spotted. Driving in Paris is a lot more fun, especially the Arch de Triomphe. Cheers Gazza

hahahaha!

What a mess!

Hi Lois - A keen observation. Funny and not funny. I like the strong shine of the colourful lights, the single silver rain drop at the bottom of the lights, the hardly showing, blurry sign of 'Victoria' on a red London bus behind. TFS.
Cheers

Lois,
Great capture. Just what CAN you do here? There should have been a sign saying "Stay put, don't move".
Nice exposure for 1/125th of a second.
Scott

Funny shot. Looks like not much choice where to go.

TFS,
Pedro
