Which set applies to me?

Andy Welsh    says:

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:



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

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

REALJimBob    says:

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...

lindes    says:

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. :-)

I think I would just sit there and stare in total confusion and try to figure out which one to obey...

Great shot!

REALJimBob    says:

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.

When I saw that for the first time in Canary Wharf I was totally amazed and thought it was real traffic lights. It took me some time to realize the truth behind it. LOL
