 pleasant experiences
Hello,
At the time of the recent Euro 2008, I was travelling through Vienna,
and with my night train out of Bahnhof Wien Sued not bound to depart
for another hour or so, I was taking some night time photos inside
the station hall.
Soon I was approached by a member of staff, who politely queried
whether I might need any help or guidance. I replied that I was
well aware about the departure platform and was just making
good use of the time before the train departure taking some snaps.
He then suggested that he could take a photo of me with my camera.
So he did, and after that photo with the flash on, we entered into
a wee discussion, he proposing to take another photo without flash,
me worrying about the long exposure time involded, and he replying
(apart from me setting the camera to a higher ISO value) that he
does have a steady hand indead, so it probably would turn out ok.
Which it did.
Somehow a few minutes earlier I must have left a plastic back
with two railway magazines somewhere in the hall. Sure enough
the bag was gone, so I retraced my steps to the information booth.
I explained where my bag went missing and what was inside.
Sure enough the bag was there. And the guy inside, with a grin
on his face, even told me, if I had turned up a few minutes later,
he would have started browsing through that railway literature ;-)
Regards
Klaus
