The Super Spectacular South Sudan Stoplight


Hey... remember that? The old 'stoplight' we were all so fond of? Remember how before we went to Juba for independence they were plastering over this little gem? Remember how Luke and I hypothesized that it was going to be turned into a monument for the SPLA? Well folks, our hypothesis has been proven wrong, and proven wrong in the best possible way ever... the stoplight was not turned into a monument, no, not even close. It was instead turned into a SUPER SPECTACULAR SOUTH SUDAN STOPLIGHT! Check it out!!


Because it's so awesome, I think we should look at it again:


Before/After
Moderately Excellent/Magnificently Excellent

I would be willing to say we now have the best fake stoplight in the world! Yep, I know, a bold statement, but one I dare you to prove wrong . 

High Five to you South Sudan!

  2. Indeed a great stoplight -- and as I look at it I see that the surroundings have changed a lot -- is the picture taken in the same direction? Is this a round about in a manner of speaking?
    Great shots of change!
    hugs xoxoxo

  3. mom- it is a roundabout - right at the edge of the 'shopping district' (market). The photos are taken from different sides...so that building has been there the whole time - but only in the last few months has it been used (after a loooong hiatus) - so that is a development!

    Em - I appreciate your vote of confidence in the 'best-fake-stoplight-in-the-world' statement. Your support makes me all the more certain!
