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
It certainly is, great choice for RT!
That is a "hot" Ruby Tuesday set! Well photographed.
That's one cool red "Beast" :)!
Lovely shots of it.
And btw. I love your new header :D!
You have wonderful details from those trucks. My fave is the two faucets. Those horns are cool, too. Toot, toot!
These are great. What is it about old fire trucks that we love so much?
Do you think it would come if I put some fire here in the street ? It looks so nice!
When are you arriving in Brussels tomorrow ??
Lots of red going on there Jientje...I have two g/sons that were junior firemen...one is now taking fire science courses.
I love it. My son would love it too. He's sooo into firetrucks.
The last two I liked the best. I could see them as abstract paintings. Nice work.
I would like a pair of red horns.
Nice shots....and who doesn't love a classic red firetruck!
a perfect ruby tuesday post.
LOL! This is a brilliantly BRIGHT series of Rubies! I love it! I especially love the two red horns! WAAAAAAY nice!
I am featuring ORANGE on my blog today! I have never gotten as addicted to red as you are! :)
That's great looking fire truck. It's different lookin than the ones that I'm used to.
as always, your photography is STUNNING.
Very shiney Ruby Tuesday, Jientje. Is it almost time for your U.S. tour?
@ Thom : I have no idea how old the truck was, but it was still looking spotless.
@ Robin : That's what I thought too!
@ quilly : Hot and noisy!
@ NicoleB : Cute eh?
@ Leora : Cool, "hot" and noisy!
@ hip chick : I have no idea. Maybe it's because they're designed to rescue people. A comforting thought?
@ Gattina : I would not try that Gattina. By the time they get to Waterloo half of Brussels might have gone up in smoke!
@ Wanda : You have heroes for grandsons? Now why does that not surprise me?
@ Loree : I can imagine!!

@ Melli : We cannot all be addicted to the same, now can we?
