Walking in Amsterdam, you always find something unexpected This old fire truck from 1900 was placed in front of the old stock exchange building on the occasion of a farewell reception for a Fire Chief.
For the occasion some fireman had put on the old black uniforms with helmet. In the background you see the current uniforms with the yellow stripes.
É uma bela peça de museu.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
It is real classic. Good thing that someone decided to preserve it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOH, to be a streetwalker in Amsterdam...what fun that would be. You know how I adore your city. To walk up upon that vintage fire truck would really be a treat for my eyes. I really do appreciate the old.Thanks for the comment. I am having to spend less time on the computer because of my back and neck problems. For a while all I am going to do is just post my pictures day by day and keep in touch with my favorite bloggers. Hope all is well with you and you are getting all ready for St. Nicholas to pay you a visit.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a beautiful piece of equipment. I've read where the sparks spewing forth from the smoke stack would sometimes create additional fires along the way as they would make their way to fight a fire.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a nice tribute to the chief. Delightful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMuch more protection for firefighters these days.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, that's quite a historical vehicle !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm reminded of something out of a steampunk tale.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEcht een museumstuk.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe vehicle is in wonderful condition for its age.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhen I see old equipment I always have to wonder how they worked. It looks like it was steam so they had to keep it hot all the time.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a lovely tribute. Those old machines and uniforms bring history alive.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey had to like very much of their cheef.
