Japan - Temple Live, Hakone Placards (edges)

This is an array of placards - for lack of a better word - at Hakone.  I felt that Glowing Edges was a pretty good way to display this photo due to the multitude of edges and stylized writing.

As I was working to refine the Photoshop effects of Glowing Edges in this and other photos, I stumbled upon a method of maximizing the impact of the Find Edges effect.  There is a tool called Equalize that, it turns out, is commonly used to make a picture look as if it were a pencil sketch.  Thus, in the photo below the original was equalized, then the color was totally desaturated after Find Edges was applied in order to blacken all of the edges.  Though this process is utilized more for architecture and buildings, it doesn't look too bad here, especially if you click to make the image larger:
