surprising toilets Photo

Photographer’s Note

Women´s toilets at the airport in Amsterdam.
When you go in, you can read on the other side of the door the history of the house represented on that door.
I found it a great idea for an airport toilet, it gives personality to the airport and helps the passenger feel he/she is in that city.
I was tempted to go to the men´s toilet and take a look at their houses too... they actually are different, they get to learn about the houses on the opposite side of the canal...

Thanks for sharing with us, next time I'll go to amsterdam I'll check the man's.
I like the clear image that you made, some reflection from the lights, but also the good quality drawing the Dutch did.

If ever at Schipol Airport... Fine photo, nice little story. I'm sure that PS has functionality for straightening lines in the photo, but have no idea how to...

Great picture and notes! I like the idea to make the toilets a little more fun. The problem now is that you want to go from toilet to toilet to read the stories =). I found another great toilet in Christiania in Denmark but didn't manage to capture it on a picture. Anyway, they had an aquarium with fishes instead of the roof in the toilet!
