There is a women with a serious shopping addiction to have to avoid the attraction of dress dummies. Odd to have clothing mannequins with a no-right-turn traffic sign. Once again an excellent photo and quote.
Martina, that’s just perfect! It took me a while to really take in all the details and to discern the real from the fake, and that makes it even better!
:-) – thank you very much.
You know what really annoys me? This little triangular piece of clothes in the lower left corner. It always jumps at me whenever I look at the photo. Duh. But I guess the shopkeeper wouldn’t have been too happy with me re-arranging his/her stuff, ;-).
Brilliant! I love the French (European?) way of putting mannequins in the street instead of behind glass. Especially in Black and White, they blend into the crowd. Great fun.
Now you got me. I have no idea if this is a French thing or a European thing .. don’t ask me if Germans put the mannequins in the street. It’s like with the color codes at gas pumps – I never realised it until you mentioned it.
I have to see next time I go shopping .-)
With France, resp. Provence, it think the narrow streets on one hand and the general urban setting on the other hand emphasize the surrealism: this is no mall. This is no shopping center. Just a street.
I always wondered if and who realised how many humans are shown in http://blog.blackandwhiteandcolours.de/?p=6372
;-)
the various details makes it an outstanding image !
Thank you very much!

Yes, it think the no-right-turn makes it. I guess that’s why they are all turning ot the left ;-)
