Bremerhaven: Waiting

There will always be someone who quotes that old chestnut “patience is a virtue” but who, like most of us, has no patience to wait when a delay effects them personally. I admit to being one of those without adequate patience when it comes to things that I cannot change, where the influence of a third party makes a difference to an arrival time, the beginning of an event, or just how warm my meal is going to be when I finally get to a table. Travelling with public transport, as I do, is often one of the greatest tests of a person’s level of patience. Fortunately, we can usually find something to occupy our time, although I prefer a book to the advances of mobile technology. Or, as with our young person in the last image, we can simply watch what is happening until our friends appear, and life continues with company.
