Description:
On a sidewalk in the foreground, on a semi-overcast day, we see a modern-looking structure of about three metres in height.
The structure is roughly oval in footprint when seen from above, like a rather short Twinkie. The structure is colored in
shades of gray, mostly dark. On the side of the oval facing us, we see dark gray control panel with lights, buttons, and
instructions (unreadable at this distance). At the left side of the sanisette, covering about half of the rounded end of the
structure and extending to within about 40 centimetres of the top, there is a recessed, sliding metal door with no handle. It
shows the international symbols for toilets (a man and a woman standing together) and wheelchair accessibility. The word "Toilettes"
appears on a large sign on the side of the sanisette, along with a handy map of the neighborhood.
