Looks like the directional signs leading out of some big city airports. :)

I think at this intersection I would forego the male tendency to refuse asking for directions!

What a fantastic find!! Excellent - like it was constructed just for this challenge!

@gerry13 Thank you, I wanted to blur the background but that photoshop skill is beyond me still. I will conquer that some day.

@cscarr97 Thank you, the shot just was boring in total color, strange but true.

@jo38 There is this site ( http://www.roadsideamerica.com) which is complete and total hoot to use. I've used it to show my sons weird stuff like the world's largest talking cow -its in Wisconsin.

@gardencat You are so right! :)

@pickerandagrinner LOL! It was really fun to see. Check out ( http://www.roadsideamerica.com/) for your state.

@bill_fe It is fun and made me smile- need more of that.

@brett101 Roadsideamerica.com- fun site to use now and then.

we have a hwy 50 and north ave. have to see if any signs are missing.

@chard They will have already removed all finger prints.
July 24th, 2016  
Oh wow! That would have to be responsible for a 30 (maybe 40) car pile-up at one stage or another.
July 24th, 2016  
That's really cool!
July 24th, 2016  
"Whaat" was my first impression but then after reading your description, I understood it as what it was: a piece of art. Fun idea & excellent for the challenge
July 24th, 2016  
Very intersting!
July 24th, 2016  
Lol, strange/amusing piece of artwork I have to say... I like your editing, works really well in this shot.

Such a jumble of signs!! Hope motorists don't try to follow them!! I like the black and white background with the vibrant colours of the signs.
July 24th, 2016  
Neat find
July 24th, 2016  
Haha...
July 24th, 2016  
very cool .. sort of like the garden: oh you wanted green beans? here are ten thousand. This is oh you wanted a sign? well, well here they all are.
July 24th, 2016  
Oh wow...well...it's colorful to say the least! Haha fun shot of this work of "art"!

@sketch2 This is really sits outside a government office of some kind. I did read about it on the site "roadsideamerican.com". Crazy stuff on that site. @domenicododaro Thank you, what else can you use old left over signs? @susale I had fun with color splash since it really was just so so in complete color. @jeffinvt Thanks, art is everywhere or least I think so. @stephanies Thank you, art sneaks up on us any and every where. @megpicatilly Thank you, I am still learning how to use layers in photoshop but will keep trying. @ziggy77 Thank you so much. @deborah63 Art is all around us- I like to think that. @francoise Thanks, I think that the City of Mount Vernon Illinois should put this as a moving piece of art- well on second thought, never mind. @cjphoto I wonder if the various government agencies who signs are there like them being included in this?
