Turn Out the Lights, The Party's Over

Turn Out the Lights, The Party's Over
The Sunday Challenge: Theme for the week is "The writing is on the wall."

For those of you familiar with tennis scoring, the writing is on the wall for the player with the score on the right side of this scoreboard.

Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music. The Party's Over sung by Don Meredith on America's "Monday Night Football." He always sang this song the moment he felt that the team down in the score had no chance of coming back to win.

Clever idea for the challenge, and the person "walking away" in the background supports the concept =)

There were two players leaving the court and stopped and posed when I was taking this photo thinking I was photographing them. :)

Ha ha ha! =D And you were "evil" and photographed something totally different! =) Yes, I have experienced similar situations. People thinking I photograph something entirely different than I actually do.

how very funny, the whole thing; they had almost finished, or did that player have a second life on court?
