An image of raised shop window lettering under a thin plastic film, which forms a new(esque) font in its own right...

Small Bizarres No. 100 - Banged up Dump-Bed of a Truck, Doha...

I've only come across this in the region... It's fascinating how malleable a sides of a truck's dump-bed can be, here looking almost like gravel (or potatoes) in a fabric sack...

The Extraordinary Ordinary - Italian Bookshops, Torino & Rome...

One can always hope...
