Looks like a trap, only one way! V

Interesting - Woop Woop does not have the same meaning here!

Cool and I would like to try the billards.

A marvelous image and treatment. V

Here in Texas, we refer to those places as "BFE". If it is remote and far from civilzation, then you are in BFE. I'm too polite to write the meaning, but you can click here if you are curious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFE
Ours is the fifth meaning.

We definitely live in Woop Woop - only five inhabited houses and Le Mas is only shown on the walking maps!
Char06-Jun-2012 12:04
This is my kind of town! Love this shot, Laine!
Sheila06-Jun-2012 01:45
It sort of means the same here too, only meaning far out from 'civilisation'. It's a great Aussie term.

This certainly looks like the worst sort of Woop Woop ... lol! Well done.

A very great find! ~V~

Great illustration for the cliche. Like the aged look of the building and the one way sign.
Mairéad05-Jun-2012 21:13
A great find - love the old sign and rusted roofs.
