Creative Lights

It seems some artist got creative and decided to use this public good as his canvas. I guess he should have made the red light a heart and the yellow light a “peace” symbol or perhaps a golden dollar.

I saw it in Bogotá in the intersection of calle 127 and carrera 13. Lets see for how long it stays like that.

Also note the “A” logo (actually there's two, you can see just a part of one at the left). I don't know what it means but it started appearing in lots of different lights all over Bogotá. Of course, it's kinda difficult not to view it as a couple having sex. Does anyone know where it comes from?

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

The "A" logo rocks, there are a lot of places in Bogotá where some weird A-sect put them just to play a little with people's dirty minds .

Hahahah, damn!

Well, if Drayry doesn't know where the “A” logo comes from, I guess that means we'll never know. Or perhaps he knows and is not telling?

He's part of the "A" cult, a secret society we are not supposed to know, but then, how do I know is a secret society? there's the paradox

Ohhh, so that's what it is, I had no idea!

And yeah, they should get their a-asses spanked for spamming all people in Bogotá, I dislike it as well.

i like the green light though, but i'm from california, and a liberal-democrat-baby-boomer hippie, so forgive me for liking it.

¡Yo también vi este semáforo, y quería tomarle una foto, pero no tenía cámara! Qué bueno que usted lo haya hecho.

Hace unos días pasé por allí y ya no estaba la hoja. Pero las "A" siguen en muchos sitios. Tremenda revelación de commercial spam la que hizo m g a. Después de saber eso, a mí tampoco me gusta. But I always saw it as a couple having sex. En todo caso, buena foto de memorabilia de Bogotá.
