[Leica] IMG Don's PAW 28 Peachtree Road Race images

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Entertaining, as always, Don. I want to set you a mission for next time to 
show us the lithe and graceful Kenyans as well.
Magnificent athletes.
I note that the family blithely reading newspapers at the race's edge appear 
to be wearing athletic shoes. Perhaps they are
absorbing the event and effort by osmosis. In the old days I might have been 
tempted to make them a present of a used wet sponge
from the water station. I think these are no longer in use though. Perhaps a 
quick squirt from a water bottle might refocus their
attention.

Cheers
Hoppy

If it is July then you will see images from the race.  No surprise, the 
Kenyans took first through 5th place.  I took up a different
place on the course this year and it was not as good for photographs.  Good 
enough however to show you he said with a leer.  OK,
first up is a sense of scale to the canyon that Atlanta is becoming as we go 
from 2 million residents to over 5:

This woman is part of the sixth release of runners so she could watch the 
first four before she had to move to the start line.  She
was a bit intense:

Of course, the fourth of July would not be what it is unless graced by a 
liberty or two:

This was the first year that there was a median on Peachtree and this man 
was a little bit confused as to why I was there.  Bear in
mind that this is a 15mm...

For the last image you have to bear in mind that 60,000 folks are running 
past 20 feet in front of this family.  It is good that
they all read though:

I hope you enjoyed this weeks images and you all have a good week ahead of 
you.
