Rich’s replay reminded me of the time a colleague entered a door marked Men's 
Room in New York's La Guardia airport and after a few twists and turns popped 
back out onto the concourse with a very puzzled look on his face,  to find 
himself facing video cameras and a guy saying, “Smile! You’re on Candid 
Camera,” and so he was.

David,
Perhaps the architect got inspiration from the Dutch artist / illusionist 
Escher?.
Best.

Aram:  I suspect you are right.  I had to wait some time, before I could get 
shots without people.  but not a one stopped or even glanced.  They just 
walked past, looking for their gate.

According to the wikipedia, in 2018, some 211,000 passengers went through 
Schiphol every day. And I have no idea how long those doors have been there!  
They were just plain weird!

Thanks for looking and commenting.

David.



I should have added that only a keen eye would have seen this. Hundreds
of thousands pair have pass by and probably not paid any mind.

In Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, I found this "emergency Exit" sign.

What I've not figured out is where you exit to or why you'd need to
keep it clear.

Y'see, these doors are in the middle of a hallway ... and only lead to
the other side of the doors!
