Signage

in Japan Photo Challenge on January 21, 2015 January 21, 2015

WARNING! That looks so exciting. Wonder what's down that alley? I want to go! (unlike the previous sign, this one might not serve its purpose...) — WARNING! That looks so exciting. Wonder what’s down that alley? I want to go! (unlike the previous sign, this one might not serve its purpose…)
