Signs, signposts, etc.

Filed Under zjbr.com |

I've seen folks with some pretty cool sign pictures here, so i thought i help get a theme started.

Cape Reinga signpost, on the tip top of NZ
http://www.mark.nagy.com/photos/capeSign_big.jpg

These are some funny finds. For the last one I also have to think: "If you can read this sign, you will get a crick in the neck". :D

And the solution to the non-existing fire hydrant riddle is: that is why it is non-operational. It is not there in the first place. Which makes this sign the more necessary and important, now doesn't it? ;)

:scratch: Now what are the chances of that. This weekend I was plotting to start this very thread and I was just coming into post them and wa-la.. there's the title. :lol: Well here are my additions.

And just incase you didn't believe them.

And then a random photoshopped one.

I had searched before but didn't come across that one. But now that you mention it. Sure enough. There it is. Is it suggested that I move these photos over to the original?

This sign struck fear into my heart!! It was in Australia (home of all sorts of dangerous snakes), near the path leading to the southernmost light house. It's a scan of a photograph, so please excuse the quality.

There is a thread on signs out there already ... somewhere in the vaults.

Can it be shop-signs, too?

Yep any old sign will do!

Took a whole heap of 'em yesterday.

These two go together:

Took this sign giving the maximum height to pass under that bridge a while ago on Crete ... I had quite a different meaning of size relations ... :)

How do you like this one. They had to tape the sign to their window right next to the door.

Ah, I know that one. Darn, I should have got it today.

Hm. Yours aren't showing up... maybe it's just my computer...?

This one was posted in Cairns, Australia where huge birds flocked to a few trees in the downtown area and engaged in target practice on the pedestrians below. I guess you could say this sign was meant to give them a 'heads up'. (Okay, I'm leaving, no need to push!)

Dew, I can't see your first photo. Just a red 'x'. Vonnagy, that first sign you posted is awesome! Did you photo shop that one at all?
I took this one this afternoon. It is nailed on the side of a shed at an abandoned homestead across from our place.

this is from NH. Live Free or Die.
Except, the owner was told last year to remove the sign. Apparently the yuppie tourists with campsites on the lake found it offensive. I miss it.

This is the "old" Sign-Theme thread... could be merged with the new one.

That's great that they got away with that -- at least for a while. Stupid yuppies.

Asbury Park along the shores of New Jersey. Basically a ghost town for many many years since the town went bankrupt ( really sad story ). I visit occasionally to take pictures and see how the recent move to bring the place back to life is progressing. There was this crude setup of a diner still in operation. Not sure if it was a legit operation or someone just squating in there providing food to the wonderers still around. I walked by it several times thinking it was just another abandoned establishment until a scruffy looking fellow walked out. Scared me a bit. Along the walls were spray painted words on the walls saying food was available.

I really hope to visit some day when the boardwalk is filled with laughter once again. If you are in the area, be sure to visit the Stone Pony.. Bruce Springsteens ol'alley.

LWW, I believe the idea here is to post pictures that YOU took.

Me too. I've been trying to get a model to go along with it, but no luck so far. :(

This one was posted at a campsite in Africa. As there were stories of people who had been mauled by lions when they disobeyed it, I decided to take the sign at face value.

Awwww.... why not? :(

It still makes me laugh -- I think it's the smirk on his face that does me in.

Louisiana, as much as I love you, we need to talk about this whole literacy thing. It makes the residents uneasy when the crews in charge of cutting large tree limbs away from live power lines don't even realize their sign is upside down...

This was about two houses down the street from my house. :pale: They did manage to get it right the next day...

Saw this at a park the other day.

I had a difficult time understanding this one, seen in Ville de Mont-Royal (Montreal). Is it "Do not tilt your can"? Or just "No Campbell soups allowed"?

Wow. Some very good ones here..

When I was first getting into photography about a year or two ago, I had a small obsession with photographing signs. I rode bicycles a lot then and so I would ride around and stop to take pictures of a sign that I liked.
