Default A few inaminate objects

SOrry for the spelling mistake in the title... Just noticed... Doh....
... Continuing my recent theme, Kampala (Uganda) railway...

Maybe should have been in the first installment, the sign at Kampala station
Uganda Kampala Old Train Station - Kampala Station Sign

Post box outside the railway building:
Uganda Kampala Old Train Station - Postbox

Old Ticket Machine
Uganda Kampala Old Train Station - Ticket Machine HC

Not something I feel we could use here in the UK, a suggestion box for the police:
Uganda Kampala Old Train Station - Police Suggestion Box Colour

Thanks for looking.

I really like the B&W treatment on these. It works very well
The suggestion box for the police made me laugh... it would be overflowing with "suggestions" here in hawaii.
Thanks for sharing

Cool set Gary. Amazing how well preserved the things all are given that the station isn't used for passengers now. I too love the B&W conversions, but the colour works great for the last two I must admit.

Can't wait to hear what Steve thinks about a suggestions box for the police!

Nice set, I like the b & w treatment and the subject matter is interesting. I like the 1st and the last ones the best.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Suggestion box? How about enforcing the law without partiality? It is interesting to see all of the signs in English in an Ugandan rail station.
