A barber pole. I love that they can still be seen around the city. To prevent theft, many are made so they can be brought indoors after closing time, or else they have metal shells that go around them.

EDIT: Hard to believe, but the pole really does lean at that angle away from the vertical. :-)

Interesting, this is another one of those things that one takes for granted. Love that you caught the reflection of the busy street in the window. Very funny that the pole leans like that!

Nice - I love barber poles. There are a few around here that I've been wanting to photograph. The reflection in the window adds a lot of city atmosphere.

There's something for everyone in this shot. The barber pole is the centerpiece, but there are great car reflections, and I love that clock that's partially hidden by the pole. Great processing, too.

I love that it tilts a bit... makes me think that over time, the weight has pulled it away from the bldg. some. Great color and textures.

At first I thought is was a light house, but it is a barbers pole I think. I like ti see if you could straighten it a little as it is leaning toards the left a little to far.
