I've only been abroad one time, and there were little gecko/lizard things everywhere, climbing up walls and scurrying across roads, and nobody cared. I was constantly fascinated but to the locals they're just kinda there.
Bonus question to anyone who visited the UK - was there anything that fascinated you but I'd be taking for granted?
Pic unrelated.
Most Metros and trains look different in different countries. I like to take photos of them when I'm abroad because it's part of the experience for me. Sure, the differences are small, but sometimes it's all the more interesting when something works almost like it does at home but not exactly the same.
And then I think you underestimate the amount of people who photograph trains as a hobby. I think the German train photography subreddit regularly had posts in r/all.
I understand, but maybe you and I mean different things. Like specifically on "public" transit, actually the installations are private and have their own rules, I simply do not want or expect to be in pictures.
Indeed in Montreal you're not supposed to take pictures of the users. Which is difficult since the trains have windows...
You can take pictures of anything as long as it doesn't include people. Which I think is hard to apply in practice. I just don't want to be in anyone's pictures. Maybe far in the background as some kind of indistinct blur?
Basically I am surprised by the people who gape in amazement at a train, and the fact I don't want to be in pictures just makes me notice. Like, wait for me to leave...
