FEAR THE TURTLE!! UofM campus pics!!! (56K take a number)

[VRMS6]

After cleaning my TGM3 today I decided to cruise by the Univercity of Maryland College Park campus and see if I could find a good spot for pics... Came across some Turtle statues. Problem was there wasnt really any place to park and take pics..So I did what anyone else would do. Got as close as possable put on my hazards,blocked traffic and took my pics...Note the statues are spread out thoughout the campus so I had to do this quite a few times.... Now on to the pics...

Entrance to the campus...

On campus waiting for a good shot....

Wanted a pic in front of this but that was impossable to get.. .for now....

you have....wwwaaayayyyyyy too much time on your hands, lol
I've been to UMD several times and it is a huge campus. Unless you know where those turtles are, it will take you while.

I love the turtle shots, esp. the one you had a little episode with (the armor, 7th turtle)

all and all, great pics!!!

Funny part is I didnt even know those turtles existed till today... I drove around the whole campus looking for them and trying to get my car close enough to take those pics....
Thanks for the compliments on the car...Hopefully I can get the sides of the CF hood painted next weekend to help give it a more custom and unified look....

They better have a ninja turtle in there somewhere, or I will be... displeased.

I honestly thought about hopping the curb for a shot but 2 things stopped me... First the curb is about a foot high so I would scrape the front end to hell... Second the campus police are not to friendly there...They love to give tickets.....

Lookin' good. I also like the armored turtle sequence. Interesting use of bottle caps and can tabs......

Thank god I wasn't the only person that thought that.

Think I will take a trip back next weekend and see if I can get any more turtles....
