Shopping Boredom
posted by Paul
$1000 to the first person who guesses what this is. Ok, no, seriously, these must be as common as rain - so no prize. Kerry-Anne was shopping for new clothes, I was bored and thought that the rest of the world may, perhaps, want to see what paid-parking meters look like in South Africa. This one is in a popular shopping centre in Cape Town's northern suburbs. (Oh, Centre Security marched me off to the back-office with "You need permission to take photos sir!" - it was fun).

The sign says that it is a car park payment machine, so I'm going to guess ... is it possibly a car park payment machine?
Am I right? Did I win? I'm so excited!
Hey Paul and Kerry-Anne,
Really loving the shots from SA!
Tell the man his rights in future... there are very few places you are not allowed to take shots in most countries.
n.b. In the UAE where I live I may have had my eyes plucked out for such a slight :)
Take care,
Bluey!
Yeah, that happened to me too last year. Still got the shot right? :)
Oh, happy one month anniversary!
I was just wondering about security! But you should have taken a photo of Woolies. I have serious withdrawals!! ;-)
>annulla, you are one sharp cookie! 1,000 imaginary dollars are on their way to you. :)
>bluey, you've got a great blog, with some superb photos - congrats on being a photobloggies finalist! Please, please, take care of your eyes... :-D
>edwin, absolutely - live to fight another day and all that. Thanks for the wishes.
>mandi, woolworths we can help you with (keep watching this spot) - is there any particular product you miss most? I can buy it and eat it on your behalf...
I'm assuming they accepted your explanations about taking the photo -- some people are extremely officious -- see what it is like in the UK -- http://ackworthborn.blogspot.com/2007/02/photographers-rights.html
Both Cheltenham and Hyde DPs have posted pictures of Woolworths in the past few months -- so yes -- we've shown you ours, show us yours!
;-)
