Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONI ducked in here the other day to get my watchstrap fixed. As always, I had my camera with me. So while the repair was being carried out, I went out the front to shoot the bright combination of colours and symbols. My interpretation of the sign? Always be on time, never behave like a heel and always look for the key to life. Whaddya reckon?
Watches repaired - or more likely batteries replaced
ReplyDeleteShoes shined/soled
Keys made
Ya think?

My thoughts...
ReplyDeleteForget time and social beauty. The key to living is living with your heart (signified by the red)
Great shot, beedy eye David.
ReplyDeleteI reckon I should go shopping and some cash! :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Now why can't I ever remember to take my camera with me?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it stands for:
ReplyDeleteWatch Women Key your car?
Great pictures!
OK, this is what it says to me:
ReplyDeleteThere's just enough time to dress up nicely and slip out of the front door before anyone notices.
Very Cinderella :)
I like your interpretation very much! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful primary colours! Very eye catching - which is the idea for a shop I guess.
ReplyDeleteLove your description. Great shot again.
Watch you don't stand on your keys?

That Daryl - she's way off track. Clearly it's a launderette.
ReplyDeleteOh, I think it's a Primary School
ReplyDelete#:-)
I'm with Daryl, although I like your interpretation just as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of the black on the primary colors. Very nice!
Time and hard work (wearing out the leather) are the keys to a successful life.
ReplyDeleteI always love these accidental photo ops!
Peace - D
Well said Jules. I would like to have time out to shop for new shoes before finding the key to go home..hehehe
ReplyDeleteCheck the time, you're running late don't forget the keys
ReplyDeleteOkay, so it's not quite Shakespeare, best I can do for now...

Great interpretation! Fun game to play.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what are your requirements for post of the day? I'm thinking I should start typing deep thoughts or being more witty...which works best? :o)
how about: watch out for high heels, they are the key to pain
ReplyDeleteClever interpretation
ReplyDeleteWatch out for your shoes and keep them under lock and key!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I came back. I saw this last night when I was still fighting my computer problems and couldn't comment. I like everyone's readings of the signs.
ReplyDeleteSee-- now I thought it meant- the key to great shoes is spending lots of time shopping.
ReplyDeletePreposterous ponderings has me on the lookout!
ReplyDeleteThe time is now -- follow in someone's foot steps - you hold the key to your future.
ReplyDeleteKeep it symbol. What a delightful title.
ReplyDeleteWords (and symbols) to live by. Love the enigmatic feel of this image. Yes, it does invite interpretation, and yours makes a lot of sense, as does Daryl's, which is so NYC and bottom-line.
ReplyDeleteIf something more zenlike hits me later today, I will return...
It's time to either take a walk or move in.
ReplyDeleteNice capture of a simple -- but potentially provocative -- sign.
I think it means that 'Watching your Step is Key".
ReplyDeletePerhaps there is a trick to getting in and out of this store without stumbling?
Tee hee!
