Remember the fire brigade station from last week? These benches are just to the right of all the garage doors. There was also a third bench, but it was occupied by some firefighters and I didn't dare to photograph them.
Privacy laws are taken very seriously here. I have had people approach me on the street, demanding to see my photos to make sure they weren't in them. I'd rather not have a bunch of burly Germans screaming at me, so I just avoid people when I can.
I would think the two benches would be the same but they're very different. So now I also wonder about the 3rd bench. Well, I know it was different 'cause it had firefighters on it that you were too chicken to photograph, but.... :))
The windows are what draw my eye in this shot, Halcyon.
ReplyDeleteWell, the windows and the bars.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when you have to have bars on the fire station! I really like your pic, Hal!
ReplyDeleteThe windows are what I focused on immediately, Hal!
ReplyDeleteOh, come on! Smile and wave, then take the shot. And it's easier for a woman.
ReplyDeleteMore than one photography teacher has told me that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Nice to have a choice Hal, don't window boxes cheer everything up.

ReplyDeleteI like the one on the right, but the other one may be more comfortable.

ReplyDeleteTwo nice benches!
ReplyDeleteI like this, two nearly identical windows with quite different benches aligned in front.
ReplyDeleteI understand your hesitation to take photos of the firefighters. Both of us need to be braver, methinks. ;))
ReplyDeleteWere you just shy of photographing the firefighters or is that against courtesy and protocol?
