great composition and pov

Why are they so big? Cool shot anyway.

Do they need them to store all the money? Fortunately, we have few tolls in the UK - they are mostly for bridges and tunnels.

Interesting toll booths. Why would one need a multi story toll booth?

These look very futuristic...cannot be compared to those on french motorways...lol! Great compo, Walter!

Cool architectural shot - very nice tool booths.

Wow.....those structures are very cool but i guess, with the money they are collecting they can afford to be creative ;) Superb shot Walter!

Interesting toll booths compared to the East coast. Yes it is highway robbery to use the tolls.

J. Scott Coile		24-May-2010 17:55
So modern. I guess you could easily spend that much more the "longer" route.

LynnH		24-May-2010 17:14
Nice capture of the shadows and lines!!

Ken Duckert		24-May-2010 13:45
Where the transportation Piper lives. Good one!

Norbert Fortelny		24-May-2010 07:20
Wouldn't have guessed what that is.

We no longer have Toll Booths, just toll cards that still cost money to pay for the tunnels we don't want :))

Guest		24-May-2010 03:02
Great shot, do they have elevators in them:)

Jim Coffman		24-May-2010 02:30
