Street Fittings, Decorations & Signs




Cigarette vending machine, Austria

I don't know what I find so appealing about this cigarette vending machine on an Austrian street; it must be a combination of scarcity, the beautiful little images of cigarette packets, the opportunity to win a holiday in Finland or just the fact that it looks so 'retro'. Whatever it is I find them fascinating; even though I'm not a smoker.

parking ticket machine

In contrast this parking ticket dispenser is just so practical and dull. I imagine the colour is supposed to make you feel better when you are having to pay up for parking but the shade is more industrial than reminiscent of summer days. 

warning sign

I love this, I hope it was put up by someone with a sense of humour and not as a serious warning!!!

No parking sign

Much more appealing than the ready made 'off the shelf' signs.

Funny how sometimes the ageing process make objects more eye catching!
