To their credit, it does look pretty uninviting. I've never seen an ash receptacle like that. Where I come from smokers just throw their butts in the street like nature intended. ;)
Oh, yes... bfarr's point is good. Isn't there a 30-foot rule or something like that?

And Jacob, (I am smiling) where was the bread you toasted for breakfast made? Where did the coffee/tea come from? The orange juice? Where was your morning newspaper printed? Where was your car made? How about the last pair of earrings you bought for Lois Anne? Or even the house/condo you live in, who built it?... shall I offer a little wager...? not in China? :-D Off my soapbox, now.]
This photo and the previous one are wonderful. I love animals and reflections :-)))
I was not pulling your leg at all. :-)There was no fountain and no statue left. But the day after both reappeared. I guess workers removed the statue to clean it and they turned off the fountain for one day.
Uh huh, a bench! Nicely photographed. I've begun to see those ashtrays around here, too. They are hardly inconspicuous. I think I still prefer the ones with sand in them. Better yet, I wish there were no need for them.
I am surprised that this is so close to the building. And not far from the door.
ReplyDeletesure looks uncomfortable!
ReplyDeleteNice shot -- crystal clear.
ReplyDeleteI don't smoke, but I give smokers a break -- we all have bad habits of some kind.

ReplyDeleteThat obelisk belongs to a cemetery! Did the put it there to scare away smokers?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what the baby obelisk was…

The weirdest ashtray I've ever seen! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, the help is near if you get the smoke in your eyes or down the wrong way :-D
ReplyDeleteAbsurd but I have seen doctors and nurses outside hospitals smoking ...
ReplyDeleteSometimes I have to hold my breath when I enter and exit a building.
ReplyDeleteAnd the bench is empty! Our medical buildings have the smoking area much further away from the door.

Every time I pass a hospital, there's tons of nurses smoking outside. I guess it's a stressful job.
ReplyDeleteI'm [leased to see there's no one there. :)
ReplyDeleteI sure am glad I gave up smoking all those years ago.
