After double isolation born by two dark powers, the gloom of winter and the pandemic, it is good to meet new people at last. Twice better when you meet nice persons as @qwerrie and @daybook turned to be. The first Steemians I ever met and the experience was great.
We visited an outdoor exhibition of retro vehicles yesterday and did some urban exploration in yards of historical St. Petersburg. I hope we will continue soon.
One of the photos I took that day was of these kids in a vintage trolleybus.
I noticed that beautiful reflection and children, and I raised the camera, ready to take an image. However, the kids didn’t want to stop fighting for the driver’s seat. I was watching them through the viewfinder until I got annoyed and commented out of loud: "Jesus! Sit down at last!"
Then, their mother emerged from the crowd and asked me what I had just said. I explained I wanted these kids to take the seats. To my surprise, the mom commanded the children to stop the quarrel and sit. They obeyed for a few seconds. I took two photos, showed them to the mom, thanked her and we wished each other good day.
