Signs and Symbols

 

Time for a Few Signs

 Now I wonder where this one is pointing to?

 A different version of a road works warning.

SightSeeing tours of the wonderful Underground system?

Are dogs not allowed because they smoke ?

Signed

My informal "signs" project continue, and here are a few more photographs for consideration ...

What does this sign mean ? No parents and children ? 

Saw this one in Paris

I've posted a different view of this sign previously, here. The trees would have to be fairly low here for this sign to be of value - it is resting on the pavement.

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. 

Not a Sign of the Times

I seem to be seeing signs all over the place,  to include in my signs photographic project. I went into central London the other morning to photograph some locations there and kept on seeing some signs, some printed, and some written. And what a lovely autumnal morning it was too.

I can read English, but nor the other languages underneath the "more seats" and arrow. I wonder if  there is an accurate translation.

 I don't suppose many younger people today recognise the handset logo for what it is.

I didn't try the coffee, perhaps I should have. I know the location, another day, maybe.

There were no blue road surfaces here, as there were outside the Tate, as in a previuos post here. This was on a lamppost.

This message was scrawled on the pavement near the north/Westminster side of Lambeth Bridge. It is a bit of a hike from there to South Quay.  Did the intended recipient actually read this message, and was the writer found ?

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 ?

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.
