[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken a while ago (it is a scanned slide) in a small village lost somewhere in the fabulous Alpujarras (East of Granada).
The streets are so narrow that they have no use of the "no overtaking" signs they get from the Ministery of Road Transportation.
On the other hand, they never have enough signs to prevent "wild parking" (as we say in Belgium).
The guys there are clever and instead of waiting for new panels to come from the capital... they decided to paint them themselves.
Original isn't it !

Well seen. To find a place for parking is a serious matter in Spain. How can we translate this sign ? "Do not park your car upside down" ? :)
About the photo itself, the textures on the wall are fine but I do not like very much the light or the shades.

Bonjour Eric,
Très joli cliché humoristique ...
Une belle démonstration de l'utilité du recyclage ... Il ne faut jamais rien jetté.
Merci pour le partage,

Hi Richard,
No I wouln't park my car upside down anyway :)
Funny one. Good direction of light giving sense of 3D. I guess contrast could be boosted a bit further.

Bonjour Eric,
une photo qui mérite un point d'originalité en plus des autres. Originalité partagée entre les inventeurs recycleurs et le photographe qui l'a déniché.
Dommage pour les lumières mal réparties, mais on ne peut inventer du soleil là où il est absent.
Bien à toi.
daniel.
