It says, "We do not owe the responsible for the theft. If you park without permission, you must pay a fine of 10,000 yen. Monthly parking."
斜めから撮ると緊張感が出せるような。
そのかわり雑に見えるところもあるから、諸刃の剣ですな。

des N et B extras ......... des lignes et des signes qui se mêlent ....... dans un très bon cadrage !

Great shot, WABIKOJA. I am really enjoying your Otsu street pictures. I'm going to explore Otsu and try to find these locations :)

非常に興味深い角度、私はb/wの処置を愛する
Let's see if my computer did this right. I wanted to say "A very interesting angle, I love the b/w treatment."

Another black and white shot of things that we'd have neglected so easily as they don't even exist. But you've a great photographic eye.

Parking problem is truly an international issue. Whatever language it's in, the meaning is always the same. Thanks for sharing these small details of your neighborhood streets.
