    It says, "flormar nail enamel", so I suppose that it is an advertising prop in the shape of a giant nail polish bottle, pouring nail polish into a stand. It does get your attention! mwink.gif

    The red purse/bag just grabs more attention into the scene, as does the red cell phone. M. Night Shyamalan would be proud.

    The thing on the right was put there by Madrid's Museum of Archaeology. It's an archaic analog device cleverly designed to accept coins while giving nothing in return. I'm told that this is an especially good specimen, as it has its handpiece still attached.

    I heard that it is new technology. Some dreamer thinks that if we can put enough of these around in public places, then people would not have to buy their own phone and carry it around with them.

    Oh, nice catch on the photo, too!

    Yeesh, showing my age. A pay-phone still looks in place for an old codger like me. :rutt

    The giant nail polish to "her" right is, however, pure compositional genius, IMO. clap.gif
