Rather you than me...

Find this distracting. other than that it's brilliant.
Rather you than me... by Roger.C.
Crap toilet!
This was located in a little hut at Lydney Docks, Gloucestershire.
I assume that this hasn't seen much use recently!
I don't make a habit of taking photographs of toilets, but I thought I'd try making an HDR shot from it.

3 exposures handheld (just about!).
Tonemapped and vignetted.

Even more unpleasant seen LARGE!

You think that's bad? You ain't seen nuthin! These are the "rest-rooms" at a fairly large petrol station about 30 miles outside St Petersburg, Russia, on the main road to Tallin, Estonia. I wouldn't even dream of describing what was behind those doors!. If you look closely on the extreme left, there's a guy usint "the urinal" (a tree!)

Somehow it doesn't look all that bad (but then, I travelled in the developing world a lot). HDR is so wonderful to bring out all these details that no 'single' exposure could. I am thoroughly a fan.

The crapper

Meaning

The lavatory.

Origin

the crapperPopular wisdom attributes the derivation of this slang term for lavatory to Thomas Crapper (1836 - 1904), the supposed inventor of the flush toilet. Unfortunately, Thomas Crapper didn't invent the flush toilet. He holds nine patents for plumbing-related inventions, including three for water closets, but flush lavatory, properly called the Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer was patented in 1819 by Albert Giblin.

Nevertheless, Crapper is the name that people remember. He was certainly well-known in his day as a sanitary engineer. He had a thriving plumbing business and was sanitary engineer for several members of the royal family.

Like the widespread and misguided rejection of Nelson's deathbed quotation - 'kiss me Hardy', it has become commonplace to see the association of the name Crapper with toilets and defecation dismissed as an urban myth. As in Nelson's case, there doesn't seem to be any good reason for that. The word crap, either as a noun or as a verb, doesn't appear in English before Crapper's lifetime. The earliest citation is from the 1859 edition of John C. Hotten's A dictionary of modern slang, cant, and vulgar words:

Nice scene. A bit surreal with all the leaves etc.

It looks a bit tonemapped though which on the other hand makes it looks even more surreal and somewhat more like a painting...
