The press and the people this week are asking why we so seldom see police officers literally on the street, outside of their squad cars.
Well, I was so surprised to see two cops outside sitting on a bench that I pulled out my camera.
And if on a bench, why not use the photos for RuneE's little Friday meme, "Bench of the Week"? 
The view is the sculpture of people in a boat. For the moving rescue story behind it, please see my post about Jerusalem's Denmark Square..
Sadly, we are living in parts of the world Dina, that police needs some rest from time to time..
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are cops "off the beat"? Or "On beat on the bench"? :-)
ReplyDeletePS Thank you for the pleasant comment!
This made me think: I forget sometimes that the police are people, doing their job. Trying to support their families. Doing life the best they can. So of course, why not take a break on a bench?
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect photos for the meme.
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom!
You can't miss them with those bright green vests!
ReplyDeleteI don't like seeing cops on the street. I don't much like or trust our police or soldiers :(
Love the photo of the sculpture. I always learn something when I visit you. The photos in Thursdays post are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThose cops must be newbies still learning the job.
ReplyDeleteDina, what are the latest archaeological finds you been digging up?
These cops are not beating about the bush anyway! I read the story about the Danish rescuers. They were admirable people all through the war. The king was their shining example. I heard that when all Jewish Danes had to wear a yellow star, he also wore a star, and that he daily asked how the Jewish Danes, who were arrested, were doing.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I like to see -- benches being used! Nice sculpture to view sitting there too!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing outdoor art in other counties but it appears that those balloon tags have followed
ReplyDeletePoor policemen... may be they came across the mystic windy afternoon and they came out to have a better understanding the case of nature...
ReplyDeleteNice shots..I love these type of situation based outdoor photography!
Thanks for sharing!!

beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture..... right place right time.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Police are supposed to take a break? I don't think they can do that here but I do see them asleep in their patrol cars, mouth agap.
ReplyDeleteI have the issue of "breast feeding" on my main blog today Pick a Peck of Pixels
Isn't one of the men using his cell phone? Last night, I saw a security guard texting. Gone are the days when we have 100% of someone's attention!
ReplyDeleteAt least your policemen aren't in the donut shop. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that sculpture of the boat and people.
Dina, I find good to see police officers in the streets: here they are always so kind and helpful.
ReplyDeleteI like the sculpture, interesting work.
