A Few Signs More

I have a few more entries for my informal "signs" project.


Any clues as to what I should not ?


I haven't got a clue what this is supposed to mean. And am not sure that I care either.

Presumably the trees are so low that you have to be lying on the pavement, and then you can read the warning sign ?

Probably not my best efforts, photographically speaking. The only one of the above which is at least  part way interesting the carving on the bark, which has a little side light and texture.

Day Trip to Paris

I've been collecting Airmiles with my grocery shopping for a good few years now - it is a loyalty card scheme and when you have collected enough points ("airmiles") you can trade them for a free flight. Anyways the scheme I'm in is changing and soon the travel taxes and some addons with be excluded. Thought I'd use what I had left before it changed and so I took a day trip to Paris last week, an early flight over from Heathrow to CDG and a late return on the same day. And what a day to go - wall to wall blue skies and the temperature pushing 30 degrees C - and this was September 30th. Autumn or what ?







The photos here were taken near the Eiffel Tower, mostly on  the other side of the Seine. I was looking at some of visitors rather than the more famous "sights". And yes, the last shot is a Statue of Liberty, it is located on the Île aux Cygnes.
