28 SEP 04 SIGN OF TIMES

Saw this while sitting at a downtown stop light . . .
Right at the outside edge of the College Campus area

It took me a moment to read the message
THEN I got it ^_~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
for those who have asked privately . . .
this quote is attributed to Paul Valery

but the full quote apparently is "to see is to forget the name of that which one sees"

Olympus C-740UZ
1/100s f/5.0 at 27.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Cool find. Maybe I need to buy a car. :) I got the beginning and the end. Troble with the middle, then read the "answer."

I love stop lights, both front windows down, camera ready to SHOOT !!!
Good job, Pete. Are you saying they got the quote wrong in the window? Because I read, 'that which is seen.' Now I'm going to have to go look in my art history book..... no, wait a minute !! I forgot google. sheesh.

I love it but I can't figure out what it says. And you put it together in the time it takes a light to change? I've been staring at it for five minutes. :)

Robin Reid29-Sep-2004 03:14

Very cool, I think I got it, but maybe not.

Took me a few minutes to decipher the message. Very cool, is this a test to see how good our eyes are? :)
Karen Leaf28-Sep-2004 23:55
