Sign Writing

I seem to be building up my collection of signs images lately, here are some additions - all from London.

This one is not strictly a "sign" - it is integated into a building - but then again my definition of signs was fairly open, see my earlier signs posting here.

Not sure if I should advertise,  but I liked the drawing of the boat.

The roads in London are beginning to get rather colourful, with white lines and arrows, yellow parking lines, red parking lines and now areas of blue for the cycle lanes. At some point information overload will be reached, I expect. These 3 here were located outside Tate Britain. I wonder if they should be IN Tate Modern ?

Signs

I have some more photos for the "signs project". All these were taken in London. Or at least the London area - don't think I could get away with saying Teddington is in London - one of these was taken in Teddington.  I was looking at themes for this project in my previous post of a couple of days ago - here , but location wasn't one of them. The previous post was more mixed, at least geographically.

Don't know who Mark is, and am not sure I care either. And no, I didn't write the name myself.

Graffitti ? Political ? Include or not ?

Street Furniture

I came across these spheres by chance recently, on one of my photographic meanders in central London, near St Paul's Cathedral.

Don't know when they were put there, or for how long, or who constructed them. And the people walking by enjoyed taking photos of themselves in the very reflective convex surfaces and then inspecting the image on the backs their cameras. You can get an interesting reflection of the cathedral nearby also. The spheres are  interesting, if different, street furniture.

Signs of the Times ?

Here are some of my images which are beginning to form a small side photographic project for me, loosely based around a common theme of  "Signs in Public".

I'm looking for a common thread here in these photos. I can't see very much humour in them, at least in all, and not all contain spelling mistakes.

Some are informational messages, some are hand written, and not all are in the same language. A common thread could be a textured background ? 

Couldn't decide between these last two, so I'm including them both in here for now. This is one of these photographic projects which I can pick up and put down with ease and which will develop in its own way over time.
