gotta love the international language of signs

i always wonder whether anyone really understands them? this way to wheel chairs? if you go that way there's a confused box with people in it? and what's with the zigzag lines?

thank you all so much for the continued views, comments and favs... and for helping get my shot from last Friday into the top 20 :)

I like the positioning of the person between the two opposite exit signs too.

[Jake]

I do think that this shot is brilliant

[Kristen]

Love the composition and POV, fabulous shot. Fav.

[Kerri]

Great b&w

[Maggiemae]

Zigzag lines must be stairs that you have to climb, not moving ones.The box of confused people must be a sign to join them if you can find them!

[TC]

Doesn't look as if this guy is going anywhere...doesn't like the options on the sign, or is confused and parking it to think it through! :)
Great capture!

[Mac]

This is perfect. So clean and bright with great contrast.

10+ out of ten !!

[Simply Amanda]

Super contrasts!

[Aleksandra]

Very cool shot and so many signs! Having just travelled it was nice to see some signs are universal, others not so much! Lol!

[KWind]

Excellent assortment of signs! So convenient that there's one guy sitting there!

[Sheila]

Great selection of signs!

[Karen H]

too many signs. I'm confused

[Mark Mywerds]

Great shot. Wow, it's been many years since I was there!

[Ingrid Budge]

Love the composition. I think that guy has just given up or is reading a sign translation book ;)

[Amy]

I am one of those people that do read the signs when I am in toronto. Not sure if it helps at all thou. Great shot.

[Dandolo]

Nice B&W and lovely composition.

[jerry plume]

Love the human element! Awesome capture!

[Michael kot]

LOVE IT :)

[Joanne Diochon]

Great shot, and it has reminded me of a sign near here, that confuses me for the first few seconds, every time I see it. Hmmm...maybe I better go take a picture of it.

[Carla]

so great how he's static and there is a sense of motion with the lines in the lights. Beautiful contrasts and composition too!

[Katia]

too cool!! :) i love everything about this shot!

[Humphrey Hippo]

The figure makes the shot. :)
The universal signs can be useful - local ones... not so much. :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

So much going on. I wondered if the guy had his head in his hands overwhelmed by it all :o) xx

[Kitti Nelson]

I like the paired 'phones and paired signs and that lone figure - great grittiness to the b&w

[Frank Hymus]

:0) Seems to be a lot redundancy here. Great find and nice toning on the final conversion.

[Steve Angell]

Lovely pic!

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Love the tones and b/w effect you use in your pictures. Another FAV. You have a way to convey a story in your shots. The emotions come right out the picture.
