You know what the most funny thing of this picture is?
The combination of the scene and what is written on the biggest box there. I don't know if you know what it says, but it is in Dutch, saying 'Goede hoop' which could be translated to hopefulness. Or good luck in this case, ahha! Well captured, glad you survived

Yeah, i like that the most. someone told me that earlier in the comments and i found it even more beautifully tragic as a result.

what did you do after this picture? run for your life? or were you too late?
Or did you make peace with her- then show her this picture for laughs?

I flinched when she was about to throw it. but she didn't throw it after that. she just muttered curses under her breath in a dialect i didn't understand.
I then muttered SORRY! and then walked off and reviewed my shot to find this. I didn't know if i had had it because of the fact that i flinched.
