They always say,"a picture is worth a thousand words" which is kinda true, but sometimes we tend to misunderstand people sometimes, which make us jump into conclusions without knowing the real facts.

I accidentally bump into this picture this evening. At first glance of the picture, snapped during Vancouver's hockey riots (2011), it shows a young couple lying on the road and kissing, oblivious to the chaos around them.

Some of you might be thinking "their crazy!!" or " their a bunch of immature amateurs!!", but the real story behind this picture was actually not what you think it is.

Alex Thomas and boyfriend, Scott Jones was knocked to the ground by riot police after attending the Stanley Cup playoffs. Alex was injured in the riot, and Scott layed down next to her to comfort her. The camera manage to capture the picture of Scott, giving Alex a kiss on her cheek to calm her down because she started acting hysterically.

The picture taken by Canadian photographer Richard Lam became a global sensation – appearing in the media, shared on Facebook and tweeted around the world – and looked set to take its place as one of the world's most iconic kiss photographs. 

Now, I'd say, that's true love :)
