Tickets with your chainsaw?


As a student of the German language, I find many of the words succinctly descriptive. Take Landmaschinen (agricultural or farm-related equipment) . This shop a few doors down from us on Hauptstrasse sells and services just those. What I like best about this photo is the poster on the glass door, advertising an upcoming production of Julius Caesar (click the photo to see the 1600 pixel version of the photo.) I wonder if they're selling tickets to the show.

To those of who are wondering: yes, the weather was fabulous on Saturday. A photo of the shop including a big patch of blue sky can be seen at the overflow site.

We found a shop recently under the name “El&Väskor”. Electric appliances and bags. Go figure. From what I’ve been told they do provide just that. Interesting combination.

Nice picture. The enlarged version says it all.

When I enlarged the photo, it just more inviting than the small version. Excellent photo.

Love the fact that a utilitarian shop is advertising some pretty good literature!!

I like your comment about the German language. Reminds me of a cod-german term that was introduced when SLR's first started appearing "klunkenbangenmaschinen". Obviously coined in the Leica factory.
I like this photo also - it has some of the feeling of a lot of photography done of small town America in the Midwest
