Oooh, had to sneak off the compound to get this picture...not far though, just across the street. This is the front of 1004; you can see how desolate it appears. The lighting was really cool for this shot as there was a combination of flourescent, mercury halide lamps, and incandescent lighting (Wow, those big words make me sound really smart!).
Hard Drugs Kill you Softly. Need I say more? Not really, except that this sign points right at the exit to AISL from the flats. So everytime we drive off the compound, we are reminded that hard drugs do indeed kill you softly...just in case you forgot.
So after you look left and are reminded, as upstanding citizens who teach, not to smoke crack, shoot up heroine, huff glue, or snort cocaine, you look right and this is what you'll see! (I'm still trying to figure out why the sign points so purposefully at our entrance. I mean it literally just screams, "Hey teachers...don't do drugs.")
I thought this picture pretty much sums our experience up. The entrance to the Private Residence...gates...steel bars...protection...imagine that! I feel safe...do you?
So this is the top of the gate that you drive out of before you're reminded that Hard Drugs Kill you Softly. I'd imagine those spikes hurt, so I guess if anybody wants to get cute and climb the gates instead of the walls, they meet these spikes instead of razor wire.
So the moral of todays lesson is Hard Drugs Kill you Softly...so STOP the habit. The advertisements are classic around here, and as I get more confident with the camera, I will take more pictures of many of the others including, "Get pregnant in just THREE months!" Yes, that is a real sign, and yes we pass that often as well. Anyways, hope you enjoy, talk to you soon.
