Description

Rather unusual subject matter, but having used these at numerous open air festivals I was suprised how clean these were. Taken at a singer/songwriter festival a couple of months ago. Portable toilets, often referred to as Port-A-Potties, Port-a-Johns (American English), or Porta Loos (UK), are simple portable enclosures containing a chemical toilet (a toilet bowl filled with disinfectant instead of water) which are typically used as a temporary toilet for construction sites or large gatherings because of their durability and convenience. Most portable toilets have black open-front U-shaped toilet seats with a cover. They are often constructed out of lightweight molded plastic. The first US patent for a polyethylene plastic portable restroom was issued in the 1960s to George Harding, who was a co-founder of PolyJohn Corporation with Ed Cooper and George Hiskes. Have a nice day.

These look almost glowing, as though they'd just been beamed in from another galaxy. The POV is really great, not one we usually see of these facilities. Well done!
