Adventure in Seeing #23

All over the city of Lausanne, where I live, there are decorated metal boxes/cupboards containing electrical wiring.

I wanted to know what the letters COFOP represented, so I decided to find out!

These letters stand for a professional training centre and the students, with the guidance and help of their art teacher and a Lausanne artist, have set out to decorate the 600 metal boxes! I think it's a wonderful idea to embellish the urban landscape.

 

This particular decoration is in my own neighbourhood and is one of my favourites. I especially love the play on the name of the city: Lausanne becomes Lausangeles!
