Stoi!

Part of the cross-border museum at Point Alpha in the strategic Fulda Gap, where US analysts anticipated the main advance of Soviet armor in case of World War III. The Cyrillic sign translates to "Stoi," "stop." It was originally placed to stop traffic coming from the East, not the West. Rebel XT (IR converted), 15mm fisheye @ f/5.6, 1/800, ISO 100. Channel swapping done to change color balance, some desaturation.
