The two men above were sitting quite close to some the trucks emblazoned with the words “Atlantic Recovery Services” (the same trucks as mentioned in the previous post). My path towards Ossining station went right past them. I was a little concerned that they might not like me taking pictures of their trucks. How did I know that they were their trucks? Other than the fact that they were sitting near to the trucks, they also had the words Atlantic Recovery Services on their hats and their shirts. As I went by, I could tell they were going to speak to me. Imagine my surprise when they expressed concern that they might be doing something wrong. Why else would I be taking pictures? I reassured them that I walk around taking pictures of anything that interests me and that as far as I knew they were doing nothing wrong.

We had a little chat and asked them what they were waiting for. It seems that some construction was taking place in the vicinity, and in the course of this a large hole was dug. The hole had filled with water, and it was their job to pump it all out. They were waiting for someone to come and let them into the building site so they could do their job.

I was now feeling quite comfortable with them and asked if I could take a picture of them. They agreed and afterwards the guy on the left asked if I would email him a copy. Of course I agreed. He seemed to like it.
