I spotted this scene on a recent photo walk not far from my home and immediately burst into laughter.

The black sign on the left is a Christian warning that on the last day everyone must stand before God (to be judged). Signs with this message or similar Christian messages are, surprisingly, rather common in Japan given the relatively small proportion of Christians.

The sign on the right is a political poster for the Komeito Party, which is the political wing of the Soka Gakkai (SGI), a Buddhist group.

I really like the colours, Mike. Was there any PP adjustment to achieve this effect?

Why can't we all just ... get along?

Good eye Mike.

Thanks for sharing.

Just a combination of late afternoon sunlight and crappy film on this shot.

A clash of the titans so to speak - nice eye spoting this one.
