Can You Pick What's Wrong With This Image? by 


If you said that the sign on the left doesn’t compute with the sign on the right, you’ve cracked the case!

High trucks? Low tree branches? That’s a recipe for disaster, surely! I shot this on Dandenong Road, in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern, in August 2006.

I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F11, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 26mm.

    Low tree branches led to an early bath on Friday. I can empathise!

  • Ah, but you were raising lots of money for an amazing cause. Funny what low branches can do to your equilibrium!

    That high trucks have to go where there are low tree branches? :-)

    :reads your description: Ah yes…

    What a great find and capture, David! :-)

  • Glad you like the shot, Ellis. I should have camped there for a couple of days to record the results of what happened next!

    This is funny, like telling all the high trucks to drive into the low trees, maybe a cheap and easy way to get rid of the trees?? LOL

  • I think you might have cracked the case. They’re saving on chainsaws by getting the trucks to bring down the branches. Brilliant solution!

    Ha Ha…..Well spotted David…..It doesn’t make much sense….

  • Thanks, John. I guess a bright shiny fire truck would end up with a battered roof here!
