AVVIŻ = NOTICE

In Maltese:
AVVIŻ
Tarmix żibel hawn
Pieni għal min jinqabad iħammeġ

In English:
NOTICE
Do not litter
Fines for those who are caught littering.

I thought this scene was too funny not to be captured.

I have to be honest – well sometimes I am – these carbage bags may have been put there by the carbage collector himself and are waiting to be loaded to a carbage truck. It has become the custom for the carbage collectors to go before the truck and to group the garbage in heaps before the truck comes round so that they do not have to stop at each and every house front and cause traffic jams (which are very common in Malta and very frustrating, too). The funny thing about this shot is that they placed this heap right under the sign.
Thank you so much for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday's picture.

Very ironic - and good eye to catch the humour ;-)

Great irony in that shot. Saw a dog relieving itself against a post carrying the sign "NO DOGS ALLOWED" - didn't get a shot of it. Too funny.

[alia_801]

Hehe - funny capture :)

[Claire]

There is always someone who ignores the signs, great catch

[Debi 🐩]

We have similar here, signs everywhere all being ignored

[Joyce]

Great fun shot Dione

[Denise]

Ha....quite the ironic scene Dione.

[sally agnew]

Great find and very funny, thanks for sharing :)

[Chris K]

that is funny. We have weelie bins and it only takes one man to drive the truck and then he controls an arm which lifts the bin up and empties it into the truck

[gloria jones]

Nice textures, focus, dof....I guess no one was caught :)

[Lyn Berriman]

Someone is causing trouble :) Well spotted

[Suse♡]

Very poignant shot.....and indeed looks like someone is going to have some answering to do....

[Denise (lyndemc)]

We'll just hope the garbage collectors put them there and that the folks of Malta honestly wouldn't think of ignoring the laws.

[Kerri]

Great catch

[Milanie]

Love the spotting for this picture - whatever the reason, made a fun shot.

[richard saffold]

yes intentional or not it's funny.

[Terry]

very funny, but at least it is organized

[Kate]

That is hilarious! Thank you for sharing!!

[Princess Fairlane]

Very funny! great find! lovely focus :D

[Rick Schies]

I think fines should be very heavy for littering. It is such a disgrace to see trash strewn all around neighborhoods.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Interesting shot and interesting information.

[Carol]

Well done! I certainly made me giggle :)

[Pyrrhula]

Very not funny. If everybody do so it will be a mess. Great find and capture

[tony gig]

Lovely capture Dione.

[Juan B.]

Beautiful picture with a interesting contradictory story

LOL Dione, this made me giggle!
