this is actually on the cheaper end of all day parking in Los Angeles, and looks to have been recently changed...

Not so flat after all, huh? Neat one. In London, it would buy 20 minutes.

@Ronnie 2¢: 20 minutes in London would probably be 4 quid too, which is like 8 here right? Glad you like it :)

@ruben latre: haha, thanks Ruben, I know it's a good deal...it was unfortunate I took the train on this particular day!

This sign has a "cut and paste" feel to ... you've captured the interesting textures and tones very well. I find it hard to believe that you could find $4 flat rate parking anywhere in California, let alone LA!

@Ron: I know it's unusual, but then again this wasn't in the best area of town...you might not have any tires upon returning! I really like this shot, I cranked up the contrast on it and it came out really nicely. Thanks for your comment Ron

I like this shot as well - the bumped up contrast really gives it a gritty feel (which as you said matches the area of town where you took it!!). With the parking so cheap and the price of gas so high, you probably would find your tank siphoned empty when you return!!
