Heh. I'm glad that everyone is enjoying this one. By the way, the sign was fixed on Friday by a very grumpy, unevenly shaved repair person. I had to squeeze by his ladder to get downstairs and he scowled at the very prospect of my 'excuse me..." It's a good thing that I got took the picture when I did.

Actually, the best part is how you framed the picture. The mark of a true artist. Then there's the timing, and the lighting. Do you do weddings? No, seriously, brilliant composition, I'm still laughing. It would make a good one for the Big Bad Flikr Blog.

I used to do weddings - to pay the bills back in 'the day'. I think I stopped because the images all started to look like still-lifes.

@dexter1uk I’ll take “interestingly strange” anyday. It was one of those serendipitous compositions that you see all the time. It just happened to make sure to take a photograph of it.

@porticodoric Thanks for the invite. Added.
