For the last few weeks I have completely obsessed over this billboard that I have seen on our street. I could not for the life of me figure out what the ad was for nor what the image was supposed to me. For some reason all I could see was the backside of a female body wrapped with straps. It was not a likely image for a place like here.
R said it looked like a piece of jewelry to him. We read the sign and kept thinking it said 3D Police and figured that it must be for sunglasses – not the Police force here.
Still, I could not figure out what the picture was supposed to be and how it had anything to do with sunglasses.
We pass three signs on this road each day, but because it is a busy street, it is difficult to stop and gawk at it long enough. The past couple of days I have tried to do Google image searches to figure out what it is. Yes, I have gotten a wee bit obsessed with it.
So, today, I made up my mind I was going to get a picture and figure this out. Since I came home at a time when the road isn’t so busy, I used my hazard lights to ward off cars and finally got a picture. Upon closer inspection, I realized that it was not 3D, but 30. If I had been able to read the top of the sign earlier, I might have made that connection sooner. So, that confirmed it was indeed a sign for the Police brand sunglasses. I finally realized that perhaps the image was the sunglasses, but it just wasn’t coming to me.
Another Google image search with the correct information finally revealed this image:
Without the dark background, I completely understand the photo. It’s amazing how the change in the background completely changes the image – or at least to me….
In any case, that is one mystery solved, which is a relief! π
