I don’t know how long it’s been since I first started playing Ruby Tuesday, but searching rubies has become an automatism, a weekly habit, or is it an addiction?
When I heard the Fire Fighter’s Station held open days, I just HAD to go over there and see what kind of ruby photo opportunities I would find. One of the main attractions was an old timer fire truck that stood shiny and proud next to the modern ones. The old one was much more photogenic than his contemporary brothers, so I took my time to take some pictures from different angles. It was fun, I’ve never had the opportunity to do anything like it before.
I knew right there and then this would make a nice Ruby Tuesday post.

OMG the hubs on the wheels are even red. I haven't seen a fire truck like that in I can't tell you how long. It looks older to me. Very nice shots my Belgian Bombshell. Happy RT :) xoxoxox

You have wonderful details from those trucks. My fave is the two faucets. Those horns are cool, too. Toot, toot!
ReplyDeleteThese are great. What is it about old fire trucks that we love so much?

Lots of red going on there Jientje...I have two g/sons that were junior firemen...one is now taking fire science courses.
ReplyDeleteI love it. My son would love it too. He's sooo into firetrucks.
