“I was absorbed in the sounds of the city as I waited for a westbound train. Out of the corner of my eye, a large shadow caught my attention. There he was! The train station giant everyone was talking about! Luck being with me, my camera was at the ready within arm’s reach. I slowly pulled the viewfinder to my eye and squeezed the shutter.
He peered ominously at an innocent traveler. I soon learned he was recently hired by the city to keep those hard-to-reach windows crystal clear! Here he is – 54 foot 3 inches tall, keeping vigil over his intended task. I think he’ll do a fine job. Keep your eyes peeled. No need to be alarmed. Rumor has it; he’s a cordial fellow!”
Oh if my kids were small they would LOVE this picture (and I would embellish the background a bit since my kids use to love Grimms fairytales when they were young and this picture is just ASKING for a great story about giants).
My eldest will still like this shot as she loves photography and Photoshop. Great picture!
