While in New Orleans on the first morning I came upon this bike locked to the parking meter post and it appears someone run over it. I do have to wonder though, was it an omen? Because you see, the next day my camera slipped off my shoulder and hit the sidewalk only to be .... 'Broken'

A fantastic image!!!
Looks like the bike damage was not due to an accident.

Thanks Manglesphoto, I agree, I think someone ran over it with their car.

That is a fascinating picture telling 1,000 words, Dave. Wow!

(sorry to hear about your own boo boo too!)

Dali did droopy clocks and Dave does droopy wheels.
"Bike gets wrecked" were the only three words I thought were needed my man.
Well spotted indeed.

My sympathies to your camera but it made a grand last shot.
I can see so much potential for this shot to be turned into a good piece of art, but as it is, I must agree, a story of a thousand words.

Did the broken camera give you an excuse to buy a new and improved camera, or did you send it off to get repaired?

Thanks Linda !!! My thinking too, a 1000 words.

As with me and my accident, to what Forest Gump always says "Stupid is as Stupid does"

I thought about a replacement Jim, but I sent it off to Nikon for repairs for it to return to me by this Tuesday with a $335.00 bill.

At least your camera can be fixed...for a price, however! Maybe you can stay away from broken things for a while, so that "bad juju" doesn't rub off! :-) Must be an interesting back-story on this bike..

Cool shot, Dave, I missed that one. I do have one of a bicycle with a seat that appears to have come from a merry go round though. New Orleans is full of surprises.

Well done.

Yes, hopefully so .... learn from one's own mistakes !!!

I wish knew what the back story was ... I'm sure there is more.

Thanks Minnie !!! That was taken the morning we were to meet Don. I didn't see the one you speak of though. Yes, New Orleans is full of surprises which is why to me is soooo interesting.
