Drive across Wyoming. Beautiful scenery and not a lot of people.

I've done those "fun" photos at the ballpark before tk2kewl Jul 2013 #7

But you did have to give permission for the photo to be taken, right? marions ghost Jul 2013 #36

Photo was mandatory. No prior advisory, and they characterized it as a "souvenir photo" leveymg Jul 2013 #58

Souvenir photos are usually not mandatory marions ghost Jul 2013 #65
