MESSAGE UNKNOWN, NORTH BAY

I have of course no idea what the meaning is of these coloured bars on the side of this  old rusting boxcar. But I simply liked the mystery of these bars. If you ever read the classic "A Canticle for Leibowitz" you can understand that, if this message was found say a thousand years from now nobody would have a clue what the meaning could be. So I titled the image " Message Unknown".

A Canticle For Leibowitz. Gawd, it feels like centuries since I read that book (perhaps it's time for a reread). No matter what the message is, the photograph itself is beautiful. Graphic lines, bold colours AND a mystery... doesn't get better than that, now does it?
