3 Liquids that matter

Gas prices are on display at many places throughout the city and along roads. Wherever people are, there are cars to be fed, so there are these numbers high on display. So is the price of another liquid. Milk. Though not related to our beloved engines, it's diplayed quite similar. Suggesting scarcity, a bargain, importance. I can imagine that kind of signage for a third liquid in the future: drinking water.

Parking plants

Found this plant close to a parking lot in a very urban part of town in Berlin. Could be a "Lunaria" plant. The appearence of specific plants in specific locations gives information about the soil, the local climate and much more. Only that I can't read this plant.
Fascinating nonetheless.
