Street Soldier

This is the end of my trio of street shots of Provincetown. This guy didn't even blink, but when my husband put money in his box as a thank you or letting me take photos, he did salute and then assumed his position again.
He looks like a statue. It's amazing how perfectly still they can stand.

Very cool! Though the statue people kind of creep me out. Awesome capture!

Major props go out to this guy for taking the time to stand at a street corner in the middle of summer in full uniform and helmet. Gosh, it must've been hot! I almost thought this was a statue at first, but the eyes were totally creeping me out.

@5unflow3r Statue people freak me out too! Imagine my horror when he motioned me over and put his arm around me so my husband could take a photo! I would have posted that, but I didn't take it.

I'm always amazed at these people's ability to sit still!
Re: It's on E4 if you're from the UK but I can't remember if you are or not... And mmm I don't have to go to the hospital/doctors/clinic/counselling for over a week now unless my bloods come back wonky from today :D

So cool! I didn't think he was real until I read your story!

Sweet Lord.. his eyes are sorta ghoulish like with the colors on his skin.. and I applaud his stamina at being able to stand in one place without moving.. I like this shot!!!

wow! I gotta get back to P-Town! It seems so different from when we were there (SO many years ago). Just looks like a lot of fun! I've enjoyed your shots tremendously.
