Thank you, unclephil. I guess that would be the state of California in his hands, but I still don't get the "signs". They look like a full ribcage, perhpas from something as massive as an elephant seal (or medium-sized whale).

personal aside:
(man, why is that every time one of my serious posts go through, it's always sandwiched in-between vulgarity? not complaining, but this is one of my bad coincidences, and I should probably bide my time for a more appropriate avenue of prior posts so that the message in the photograph is not easily lost because of the wacky nature of the post above me)

author's comments:
This is Louis, 90 years of age !!!.. it was a freezing night in Bristol city, yet Louis was standing there, waiting for a hoot !
I have a real admiration for this young lady, such passion in her beliefs.. i've seen her in all conditions, waiting there with an empty road, waiting for a hoot of agreement.
During rush hour there is a hoot every ten seconds if not more, louis will give a happy nod to each approving driver, this is why the focus isn't so sharp on her face.
.. she has invited Rich and i to take some more photos when her also ninety year old friend will be with her, so expect more pics of this brave and wonderful lady.
