Description

Today I'd like to share with you a reportage shot. We had a Marathon race in town a couple of month ago. Tried to do something different to my usual work :o) I really had fun while shooting that event. Hope you will like this shot! It's my entry to the Monthly Challenge "Speed" BTW some of you may remember that building in the background... it's the old fire-station I had posted in a series last year :o) ty4v&c Thanks for all your flatterig comments on my previous shot Hope You've made my day!
