We live in an apartment that is right on the corner of two major roads. Our apartment is the top apartment right on the corner of the two roads. Often I complain about the noise from the cars and the sirens that we hear multiple times a day from the fire station less than a block away. I don't think I'll complain any more though. My heart is filled with gratitude for those who are prepared for the worst. Had the firefighters and Medics not been there as quick as they were I fear someone may not have lived. There have been a few times we have seen accidents we even had someone drive straight into our complex building but this one has been the worst since we have lived here. It involved a few teenage girls and a motorcylist who flew 20 feet. I would not have thought to take pictures but since my cousin was one of the EMT's I thought I would get some shots of him doing his job. When I look at the pictures I honestly have to fight back tears because the scene was just so remarkable. One of my favorites is of the mom (i'm assuming it was her mom) praying as they assessed her daughter that was pulled from the car. It made me think of how much parents love their children, of how precious life is, and of how grateful I am to those Men and Women who work 24 hour shifts to be there for everyone one of us when we might need it. Here is to them.

Wow.. scary. What lens did you use? I have also wondered what you bump your saturation up to to get such vivid colors. ;-)
