| Description |
The Bluewater Bridge between Sarnia ON and Port Huron MI. This isn't the greatest photo -- I was trying to make do without a tripod -- but it does come with a long, semi-mundane story. So I was visiting Sarnia with my parents, and we went down to the Bluewater Bridge, which is a popular place to hang out and look at the water and eat <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/loozrboy/3917570405/in/set-72157622334632590/">french fries</a>. And of course for taking pictures, which I proceeded to do. I'd taken maybe 5 photos when I heard some one say "Hello there", and turned to see a police officer walking toward me from his squad car. He explained that they'd gotten a call about a "suspicious individual taking photos of the bridge". Now I should mention at this juncture that I'd been taking pictures for maybe one minute before the cop came up to me, which means one of 3 things: 1. Some concerned citizen called 911 the instant I whipped my camera out, and their call was immediately relayed by the dispatcher to the nearest squad car, which just happened to be driving past my location at that exact moment. 2. The guy the cops were looking for had finished taking pictures and left 20 minutes earlier. 3. The cops were totally lying about receiving a call, and were just checking me out of their own accord. Figuring out which of those is the case is left as an exercise for the reader. Anyway, the cop affected a resigned, almost apologetic attitude, conceding that the bridge was a local tourist attraction and people take pictures of it all the time and that was totally OK, but sometimes some busybody would take it upon themselves to call the police. So even though it was totally silly they had to check it out, and could I just show him some ID so we could all get out of here? If I'd wanted to act like a Responsibly Disobedient Citizen and give myself a really good story to tell, I guess I should've refused, but I'm a wuss so I just handed over my driver's license. He jotted something down, wished me a good evening, and took off. As he was leaving I asked, "So can I keep taking pictures?" and he said "Sure, take all the pictures you want". So... yeah. I wonder if I'm now in some sort of global database of jerks who take pictures of sensitive landmarks? |
