Description
When we stopped for a sandwich at the University Bar in Bozen/Bolzano, the provincial capital of South Tirol, Flavia and me couldn't believe our eyes. It looked it existed a garage especially for pimps in town. And it even advertised the service openly! I can't say about the garage owner's mischievous purposes, but the bartender had no idea whatsoever of the meaning of the word. Whether the students were also ignorant it's for you to guess... Anyway, I gave the shot a modernist art flavor.
Thanks for your kind comments.
PS I checked Language just in case.

An unusual name for a bicycle repair shop. Super shot and a good advertisement for the store.

yeah, it really is a mystery. When I first saw this, I hadn't read your description---I just looked at the image (full size), and you really did turn this into a modernist statement. At first I thought it was a collage---but it's not. You turned parts of the background (and reflections, maybe) into a jaundiced yellow, making this a pop and late 60's poster art piece. Good job! The bike sits like a big blast in front of it all, with the mystery of what that garage really is. I looked up "pimp" to see if it had any older meanings that might apply---but nope, it means pimp. And you have a tilt which makes it more fun, like a comment on the whole. Also, you have a series of pink and blue stripes---lower left corner---which looks like an American flag, almost, which would fit this image perfectly as a pop or poster art piece from the 60s. A lot of fun, and an eye-catcher.
