Touring in a 7 block radius at that.. I saw that and almost laughed out loud.. I walked the entire area in under an hour yesterday..
Ah the money some people have to waste!
Extraordinary … maybe all they wanted was the ride on he Segway? I must say I’d love to get up on one – but not in a tour … I’d kill everyone within a kilometre! 😀
It’s really quite a funny picture, and of course using a telephoto lens has accentuated the strangeness in having a group of people segway-ing one after each other. I am not sure what to think about doing a tour like that, but the picture is great.
Thank you Otto.. this is one of those moments that begs to be photographed..I’m with you, I’d rather walk and also, how would they be able to take pictures of what they see riding a Segway..
I’m so glad you introduced yourself to me, and I found your blog. I think you do with photographs what I try to do with words: tell stories that will amuse, cause reflection, create focus, intrigue. I spent way too much time looking at them.
Thank you so kindly for the return visit..I have been a writer for many years and yes, with pictures I do not have to struggle with words..
Thank you again!
The fact that one person in the group was watching you instead of paying attention to the tour, is one of the reasons why this style of candid street photography is so awesome. She is just one story among many in the photo.
For some strange reason, I’m quite intrigued by this photo. Its a great example of street photography, what exactly are they doing? Pardon my ignorance but what is this tour on these strange contraptions?!
The people are taking a tour on what are called “Segways”..They are like stand up scooters you can rent.. I personally do not care for them but looks like some people do!
Hilarious photo, very well done. I’m afraid that my own acute sense of shame would prevent me from ever getting on a Segway–and especially not touring on one.
six degrees photography 
I also count 6 degrees of separation between the first and the last 🙂

I don’t have the best balance anymore so I already know I’d fall off!

Had to laugh about the comment on touring on a Segway. We have those in my town, also. Yes, entirely walkable so I really don’t get it….walk, people!!

I know right.. I understand the tours if it’s a large terrain you are covering but 7 city blocks? Oi Vey!
