Just seen: a group of firefighters with incredibly shiny gold helmets and two bright fire trucks congregating around a building. Next door: a couple nonchalantly sips drinks in the window, obliviously looking into each others’ eyes and down into their straws while firefighters are running in and out of the door just feet away. I begin to curse that I don’t have my camera.
Next, a pretty British blonde in a red coat asks the guys if she could get her picture taken with them. We’re all thinking “yeah right, come on” (I say “we” because now there is a crowd, and the couple in the window remains nonchalant) but the guys oblige (anything to please a pretty lady) and in fact, one of them takes the camera from her friend so they both can be in the shot. THEN, they lift her up!! She screams in glee!! The crowd applauds. Best tourist shot, e.v.e.r.
Never again am I leaving home without a camera.
