I couldn’t resist this one. Sadly, KFC signs often pop up and disrupt my composition. But for this one I quite liked it

And here I thought the famous thing was KFC. 🙂 I want you to know that with great effort I did not use a photo of The Bean, which is rather famous and good for so many different challenges. 🙂 But you’ll have to wait a few hours yet to see what I did use.
