| I was standing on the side of the road for quite some time taking photos of things going by when this bus driver saw me with a camera. He came to an quick stop in front of me and requested that I take a photo of his bus. After doing so he asked that I take his photo, which I did. Then another man got off the bus and wanted his photo. Then another, and another. One by one everyone got off the bus to have me take their photo.I've never stopped a bus before let alone congest traffic like I did this afternoon. It was fun though! |
