I’ve captured some terrific posters in my travels. Do you have some favorites here?

Abstract Metro Photos- Series 14

I haven’t posted my abstract metro series of photos since last May. I’ve collected dozens of new ones since then and showing them off today. There’s humor in some of the images along with a few oddballs. There's an artists reference caption below. 

In my Malta Doors post the other day, I asked if anyone knew why the doors had gates on them. Two blog readers responded they were to keep goats from entering the house. Thanks for the information.
