Pic of the Day #1156

Family, Jenga

This is what results when my brother combines a wind-up toy car, a wood plank, and a Jenga game.

I rather do like this shot because it’s probably the single best "arrested motion" shot I’ve ever captured. Yeah, the flash is a bit harsh, and the background is a bit too dark (or perhaps not dark enough)…but I swear it looks as though the pile of bricks has been stacked just so, with the car wedged into it. There’s almost nothing in the shot that indicates that the car is on a trajectory THROUGH the tower.

Arrested motion, like I said.
