mmm yeah im bored....

im just amazed that people.. presumably some drivers, think its fine... why would you park across a slope (even if its not that steep, although this one day look it) when you could quite easily park along it.

Yes, I've been a CFS appliance driver for some time.

You're safe with me  :evil:

It's very easy to pick a photo to pieces, photos are very unreliable especially with angles etc etc... Photos can present the subject in avery different light to how it actually is.

Film makers use this technique all the time to manipulate what is actually there and make us believe that something is steeper or more dangerous etc......

I personally see no issue with how this appliance is parked and congratulate the crew for their hard work.

Two minutes in photoshop angle changed..... :-D

Just an example of how a lens and or photo can change perceptions...The change is not meant as a correction just an example.. We could guess all day which angle is absolute and level horizontal :-D :-D :-D
