Jamaican Fire Alert, a photo from Portland, Surrey

Photographer's Note

No sprinklers, nore an automatic fire alert in our fine hotel in Port Antonio.
I guess everyone will hear the fire alert...... when there's someone in the kitchen to knock as ... hard as he can.

Nobody ha contrassegnato questa nota come utile

Hi Gerrit,
not much to say about this as useful, simple, necessary and strong in the effect.
And a daily life thing!
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Gerrit

A humorous daily life shot, with good sharpness & framing. The text is sharp. Tfs!

Hi Gerrit
Good humour shot. Looks like they could use a lesson in how to paint around light switches ;-))

Dag, Gerrit. Ik weet niet hoe efficiënt dit kan zijn, maar ik heb enkele twijfels. Jij hebt in ieder geval de situatie overleefd, het schijnt dus dat het werkt ;o). Moest er iemand de hele nacht blijven waken? Interessant te zien hoe ze daar brandalarm opvatten! Een goed humoristisch beeld.

Hallo Gerrit,

Uw foto is in iedergeval zeer duidelijk, zelfs goede echte kleuren en een schitterende mededeling.
Zo ziet u maar hoe normen en gebruiken kunnen verschillen tussen volkeren, maar men denkt toch dat het eventueel zou kunnen branden.
Goed gedaan, en excellent scherp.
Bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Hello Gerrit
i have to say, that it is quite an unusual way to give fire alert ;D
Even a kid would easily be able to use this original fire system!
Cheers

Haha! Just a point and shoot, maybe better posted as a workshop, but the subject is very funny and well chosen, a real travel documentation, I think the discrete mini serpent (worm? piece of dried spaghetti?) crawling up the wall at bottom left corner adds a particularly refining touch.

stego (24132) 2008-04-12 10:55

Hi Gerrit,
A well humoured image that perhaps says much about the relaxed attitude towards life and an ingenious way of doing things. :D
I like the detail of the little worm on the wall, at left.
Regards, José.
