Kiev: Plaque to commemorate Karl Liebknecht

This plaque hangs in a street that was named after mr. Liebknecht, now it is called Shovkovychna. These are pictures taken during my holiday in Kiev in August 2004. Pictures of Kiev that were already in my flickr photostream have been digitally remastered and the best versions have been oploaded.

190

A rather complicated sign in Budapest, probably advising you to wait for the green light before you cross the road, and, should you encounter a red light, to press the button. The red man is a body builder, but the green man has a strange elongated body and very short legs.

Announcement in a shop in Leiden. Untranslatable

The announcement is untranslatable because it is incomprehensible in Dutch. Directly translated it means: "New collection !! Black out dust" or "New collection !! Black out cloth"
