According to Wikipedia, real life means:

Real life is a term with multiple meanings. It is most often used to mean life or consensus reality outside of an environment that is generally seen as fiction or fantasy, such as something on the Internet, virtual reality, a dream, a novel, a movie, a hallucination, or a delusion. Online the abbreviation RL stands for “real life”, with the meaning “not on the Internet” (see below).

It is sometimes used synonymously with real world to mean one’s existence after he or she is done with schooling and is no longer supported by parents, i.e. the practical world versus the academic world.[1] A person with experience in “real life” or “the real world” has experience beyond book learning.

Real life can be a controversial term. Some people use it as a value judgement to describe “productive” activities, specifically jobs or the support of one’s family. However, many speakers use the phrase in an ironic sense to describe an alternative to their own activities, which may be valued as more important.

I tried to find people at work building or creating something, but couldn’t really find any good shots from my archives. After doing some more searching, I decided to use image about people saving other people. This shot was taken on rainy evening. I had just earlier visited friend in hospital and was waiting for bus ride to home, when I started to hear helicopter’s sound. I couldn’t be sure whether it would just pass over or not, but I decided to keep my eyes on sky to figure out, if it would be MediHeli, because I had clear line of sight to their landing pad. When I finally saw it, it was already coming down and in a rush I forgot to switch aperture to something faster than f8. As a result, photographs were taken in relatively long shutter speed, but this one turned out to be great due to helicopters hovering nature and support that I got from bus stop.
