Which set applies to me?

Which set applies to me? by REALJimBob.
Almost at work, this confusing sculpture sits in the middle of a roundabout just outside of Canary Wharf. I'd been meaning to photograph this for ages now and the DILO seemed like the perfect opportunity.

- Added to the Cream of the Crop as my most favourited photograph.

You've captured the scale of the thing a lot better than mine - I would also like to see this in black and white but with just the red and green of the lights kept highlighted.

Nice work - Happy Christmas!

Your wish is my command:

Traffic Lights cutout

I'm not convinced, opinion is mixed...

Edit: For reference, Andy's excellent photo of the same spot is here.

Thanks Merima and Cris -- hopefully most people realise that they are supposed to ignore it as it's just a piece of art in the middle of a roundabout just down the road from my office.

It's a sculpture Maulinrao, it sits in the middle of a roundabout in the Docklands area of London. The lights do all change colour though, like real traffic lights...

you're quite welcome. I've taken to trying to comment on where I find images, anymore, unless it's just people in my contacts list and that's how I found them... I think it's neat to see where people come from, so I share where I got there from. :-)

Thanks Tracy, the trick is to just ignore it though. The lights change so quickly on it that people work out quite quickly just to keep driving.
