Like your thinking on this Jeroen, good vision and certainly a different tac/POV. Puts a different spin on taking your 1DX on test drive, how are you getting on? Drop me a line when you have a minute.

Could it be two boars in the road, looks like a Volvo? :biggrin:

Hi Andy,

About 450 Wild Boar and 350 Red Deer accidents per season... :eek:

Great example of thinking outside the box, this one tells a story.

Cracking shot Jeroen and as the shot appears to have been taken from the middle of the road at some risk too! Hope you were wearing a high viz jacket! :biggrin:
