Something Very Good by adam.

INSTRUCTIONS: Go to a street corner of your choosing and wait for something fantastic to happen.

Wow, I really wasn't expecting to see anything for this task and it'd be a task completion for "The Failure". But luck was on my side today!

Anyway, I stood on my street corner, since I'm familiar with the surroundings.

There's a building site across the street. The rate at which this building was built was bloody ridiculous, it was seriously like a "just add water" building. But that's not it.

I stood at this corner for quite a while. About half an hour? When I heard someone shouting in a field around the corner, so leaving my post I went to investigate. In the far distance I could see this guy, one of those windboarder guys. I approached him and he nearly hit me with his windsail thing! He apologised and we had a bit of a chat about his hobby. I asked if I could take a couple of pictures and he happily agreed. So here he is, in all his windsurfing glory.

Wow, I thought that was pretty fantastic. Anyway, on the way back a police car passed by me, sirens a whailing and everything. And as I looked down, what did I see?

Coincidence? I think not. Also on the way back was a house absolutely covered in christmas lights and such, so I decided to take a picture of it at night. I didn't even use a flash.

And there you have it, pretty interesting day I must say!

I don't get the police sirens/water stopcock connection though...

Sewage manhole covers are very good.
