Ad free and wierdly beautiful

BoingBoing posts about an outdoor ad ban in Sao Paulo. There's a flickr set too.
The frames for the posters, and their urban setting is more redolent of the US than the Cromwell Road but I find the effect curiously interesting - blue sky or buildings behind are framed by the ironwork.
I confess to usually going on summer vacation to a place where there is a town planning ban on advertising hoardings and it does make for a more pleasant visual landscape.
