Lifeguards Payal Ramritu and Sam Mulcahy sit on a bench overlooking the beach at Oriental Parade in Wellington, New Zealand. It wasn’t a busy day for them today. Sam told me the most action they had was a cut knee.

Payel suggested they strike a funny pose for the picture that I told them might well end up on this site. So here they are, surveying the beach in an almost cartoon like fashion. I hope they get to see the picture.
