Status

I spotted this 'status' sign on the top of a fairly decrepit building in downtown Johannesburg. I haven't the foggiest who or what it refers to, but it's interesting to ponder, isn't it? 


I was on the way to visit Home Affairs to apply for my 'resident status' when I took this photo, so I like to think it's a good sign...

  1. Nice one, Susie. It looks good in sepia.

  2. A good sign indeed and I, too, really like the sepia! Hope you have a great weekend, Susie!

  3. It is so gratifying that the concept of status does not have the same meaning in South Africa as it probably did when this sign and building were erected. Thankfully, progress in human relations is not static.
