The Ladies Room

www.hansvandevorst.com.

I've encountered this restroom today. Forgot the pressure entirely, had a big laugh and runned to my car to get my camera. It's in the office building of a software company in the Netherlands. I think it's hilarious.

Only in the Netherlands! I remember the first time I used a public bathroom in Amsterdam Airport, and there were little pictures of flys in the urinals, so that you had something to aim at.

_Hans van de Vorst says:

Thank you all! It's nice to laugh together. Almost all continents are represented within 40 minutes.
@Knotty, the fly is nice to pee on, but more difficult to shoot :DD

Frank Mercurio says:

Those are some brave women who get so close to the "sprinkler systems". So much for getting it all over your shoes.

I gotta say, only the Dutch could do something like this, good job. I wonder if the ad was created by a woman or a man?

On a photographic note, the lighting of the subject is spot on!
