This Weeks theme is On the Road, which is a perfect theme since I just traveled back and forth from Toronto to Chicago this past weekend, and of course I took some pictures with from the car as we were driving with my Nokia cell phone.
BTW the Nokia is the Multimedia Smart phone that I received for free back at the end of June just for being a Toronto area blogger. It’s a Nokia 6682 and I’m very pleased with most of the photos that it takes. Some of the ones I take while the car is moving don’t turn out the best but it sure is handy!
Ok here goes:
I took this one last Saturday night as we were driving around trying to find the Old School House on Lincoln North, this was before or after my quick change in the car, see the post prior to this one for that story!
This one was taken later that evening after we left the concert. I love the blurred effect. It looks like we were speeding along but we were actually driving at a fairly low speed:
And finally, we saw this sign when we were traveling on Interstate 69, going through Indiana.
We found this one kind of funny, because I’m sure that each state and each one of Canada’s provinces could have whole fields full of signs just like that.
Happy Saturday, and have a great long weekend to all that celebrate Labour Day.

I liked all 3 photos. The first one.. very cool, especially with the wet pavement and sparkling lights. Felt like I was at the intersection myself.

Those are amazing pics being that they were taken with a phone cam! The 2nd one is my favorite too. In the 1st pic, I like the time of day (of the photo) along with the building on the corner, looks very cool.
IndianaJane says
Love your pictures! I think the second is my favorite. It really does give the feeling of speed.
Philosophical Karen says

Gorgeous pictures! You have a real talent there. love the effect you got with all the colors of Chicago and the “rush of wind effect”, as well. ๐
Mrs Lifecruiser says
I love the blurred effect too. And the Wanted-sign: he must be something special to put up that hah? Yikes. Luckily it hasn’t gone that far over here – yet.
YellowRose says
Love the Chicago pics, makes me alittle homesick!! ๐
Mine is up!
amanda says
I like the sense of movement in the middle shot. ๐
Frances says
Camera phone pics? They’re great.
I got a Nokia camera phone as a gift and am switching cell phone companies so I can do some moblogging.
I hope my pics are half as nice as yours.
Take care,
Frances
Jazzy says

Irish Church Lady says
Thanks for the comment about the Canadian blogrolll on my blog. I will check it out!
Great street shots!
Biker Betty says
I love your photos. They turned out so good. I’m new with this and just joined the Sat. Scavenger Hunt. I’ve been doing a motorcycle scavenger hunt all summer and loving that. My motorcycle had to be in all the photos.
eija says
Camera phone? wow… I’ve got one I never use – maybe I should change that?
Anyway, nice pics. In Finland’s capital, Helsinki, there’s one place that resembles very much the corner house in the first pic! The blurred one is very good – and for the last one… it’s a bit difficult to decide wether to cry or laugh at that ๐
Thanks for visiting me ๐
Denise says

tnchick says
I really like that first photograph! Ya know, I’ve never saw a wanted billboard like that. Sorry I’m so late in visitin’ – the blogroll has grown so much it’s hard for me to keep up now.
