Great atmosphere. It love the brownish colors. They add to the feeling that this picture was taken years back. It really looks like a WWII scene. Fantastic shot.
Wot!??! After they meet you, do many aromatherapists go home in tears, drink a whole bottle of vodka and not get up the next morning? :)))) My guess is you mean something else.

It is a rubbish collection truck.

From 1986, and the film is not faring well, but the colours in the scan are more or less as they were. It was a rather brown day.

There was a lot more variety in the East than many people think! Some days were grey, and occasionally, you could even get yellow things in the shops.

You've given yourself away here: You work at a British Embassy somewhere, don't you?? Bet you do... :0)
There is something very odd and interesting about this photograph, not least your scatological title. I can only guess that it refers to the tanker truck, which I suppose is delivering oil? I assume this is quite an old photograph since the colours seem to have faded. That's good, I like the brown eastern bloc feel to it. Add a cohort of East German border guards marching down the street in formation, and you'd have something classic! Rgds, Svend
