Lilly : You realize we have trains running in some of our roads?
Ronnie : You mean trams, surely?
Lilly : Nope. Watch out behind you, Ronnie!

@Fliss: :
(from Ronnie) One got untellingly close to running into me as I took my pics . . they are kinda quiet and sneaky and cannot swerve to miss you ! Beware.

We call these "light rail" here in NJ. ;-P
Great urban scene. Nice work.

LOL.... your humor makes my day. Another wonderfully creation, but this is how I usually see the roads not knowing which way to go :(

I think with both of you on the lookout, its like having eyes in the back of your head.

In Pittsburgh we call it the "T" - short for trolley. As a kid I remember seeing the old trolley tracks that ran right down the middle of the street. I though tit was odd but I grew up spoiled with a car to run me wherever I wanted to go. This photo has some good memories.

brilliantly done - feels seamless. I must say the sense of standing on the tracks makes me feel a bit nervous!

I like the direction of the yellow lines. Nice Work!

I love all the lines (tracks and street lines, etc) leading the eye further into the image. Glad you got out of the way!

Barbara from Florida, United States
Excellent and interesting blend, the entire frame of the shot could very well be in the same place.
I've always enjoyed the euro car design. The van on the right looks have Mercedes and half box.
Great work.

No matter what they are, I have always felt the same way about tracks in the pavement... :)

danthro from Suburbia, United States
cool mix -- do you guys plan to take the shots at a similar time of day or is it processing?
7 Nov 2008 10:43pm
@danthro: :
(from Ronnie) Thanks, Danthro. Our only briefing on this one was 'rail on the street' so everything else was chance. My shot was close to dusk, Llliy's middle of a dull day . . . so, yes, had to cross-process here.
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Wonderful captures on there own and so well joined its hard to work out where one starts and ends, beautiful and creative work :)

Terrific composition. My left eye goes down the tracks while my right eye is watching the traffic.

Ooh, eerie space warp! Great risks of lives and limbs seem to have occurred in the name of photography.

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
This is one of those absolutely, super clever combinations of yours! Bizarre and fantastic! By the way, I just love that modern but quaint looking tram (or streetcar, as it would be called in the USA).

I'm really amazed how you can melt two pictures to make one. It looks so real!

Fabulous composite, or whatever it is called when you combine two images. Seamless! Love those tracks and lines going off to the left, with the others straight. As always, the "conversation" is just right.

I think I'd prefer then running in the street that across the street as I am too often caught by them here.
