Local Advertising

Old Door and Wall, Krakow, Poland  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved

Many years of repeated use have proven this metal door an ideal place for local advertising and the hodgepodge of placard remnants blends perfectly with the chaos of the old stone wall.

    Great color, great texture, great decay--more than that though, I love how this door is a bit of a time capsule. Love this shot Doug!

    That's how I got my yak, D!
    Saw an ad on this door.
    And I decided to buy my pet yak from a Polish farmer.
    No wonder my yak moos in a funny Polish accent sometimes.

    Framed to perfection - and a great semi-abstract too.
