When I was a kid, me and my neighbourhood buddies often played in the trees and bushes that were growing beside the railway embankment. Climbing the trees, building tree houses...
For some reason we thought we were not allowed to be playing there. So every time we would hear a train coming, someone would yell "PHOTO!!"
And we would all quickly turn our backs to the passing train, covering our faces with our hands.
We believed the engine driver would take our pictures and report us to the police :-)
