Forest school bus, a photo from New Hampshire, Northeast

Photographer's Note

New Hampshire and especially the town of New London is very rural in most parts. When you walk through a forest there is a house every 200 m, no fences, just warning signs that you shouldn't tresspass.

And there are also children that have to go to school, so there is a school bus driving through the forest.

A powerful shot that somehow has been neglected here, so it's high time someone put that straight! Let it be me...

Hi Franz

This is about the power of simplicity. I like the strong contrast of the sign (black/yellow - the highest possible contrast, artificial, danger...) versus the endless variety of green in nature.

This contrast between nature and 'civilisation' creates endless possibilities for interpretation and meaning and makes the picture fun to look at.

And that 1/4 top right corner of blue is a perfect balance for the yellow which dominates bottom right.

Simple, efficient, powerful...I like the result.
