F/ Alphabe-Thursday

 FIRE engine on the side post of a bench, Seaforth, Ontario

Can you hear the siren blaring? NO?! I can... but perhaps that's because I'm just a kid at heart.  This fire engine is part of a public bench on a main street in Seaforth and I just had to take a photo.

 Longer view of bench

I guess no one wants to sit on that snow-coved bench. Go FIGURE.

    I would have taken the photo too. What a lot of work to carve that.

    Is it actually a part of the bench or separately attached. Pretty cute.

    This is so very cute! You need to submit it to A Bunch of Benches. :)

    I can hear that siren, EG. ;-)

    SNOW!!! I happen to be one of those crazies that welcomes the arrival of snow. I don't understand how my friends and coworkers can choose to stay here (near Chicago) and not like the snow.

    All things in their season, that's what I say.

    What vehicle ,if any is at the other end of the bench.any tribute to everyday heroes always touches my heart. (ps. I can hear the sirens too...although those might be real since i live in the hood.)

    A wonderful piece of public art. I'm surprised and pleased that no one has tried to knock it off or otherwise ruin it.

    What do ya call all that white stuff?

    This is so cool! Without snow my three year old would sit on the bench and take in the truck for hours.

    Are the temperatures frigid? Is it fun to shoot fotos in the snowy weather? Firetrucks are great! I enjoyed your post today!
