An old-fashioned wooden intercom, staring at visitors of Seodaemun Prison's torture cells. The prison was built by the Japanese occupying forces to arrest Korean freedom fighters.
The Chinese characters on the right say "Take more exercise, bear up under affliction", thanks to zealotmat for the translation.

Ah, du bist wieder da! :) Und gleich mit einem schönen Bild - minimalistisch, aber stark! Ich mag die Farbtöne hier und deine Komposition - gut gemacht!

Ich hatte zwischenzeitlich mächtig Spaß an der Stadtbücherei in Ulm und habe mich an der Glasfassade ausgetobt - da ergeben sich herrliche Spiegelungen... bin auf deine Asienbilder gespannt. Sind's viele?
christian.senger (47 months ago | reply)
300+, werde nach und nach ein paar Highlights hier hochladen. Die Pyramide hab' ich noch nie fotografiert, sind Deine Bilder schon online?
m|kay (on/off) (47 months ago | reply)
300+!! *SCHRECK* Nicht schlecht... :-o
Bilder sind schon online auf Seite 1+2 von meinem Stream. Auch Münster und so... hatte ein schönes, sonniges WE in Ulm - ist immer eine Reise wert! :)

Hi,
I am Tong Mao, do you know the meaning of Chinese characters on the wall? It means "Take more exercise, bear up under affliction."
christian.senger (47 months ago | reply)
I didn't know the meaning Tong Mao, thanks for the explanation. I added the translation to the picture's description!

Cool capture!
Lovely shot my friend. Seen in the Golden Garden of Photographic Delights.
This is Joke Wednesday. Here's three to enjoy:
#1 Why won't sharks attack lawyers?
Professional courtesy.
#2 Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. However, all the league records were unfortunately destroyed in a fire. Thus we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
#3 A man rushed into the doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
