Quintessentially British ~ 1

Many rural road signs in the UK look like this. They haven't changed for generations, and I love them.

I think a series of Quintessentially British photos over the next few weeks could replace the Cockney Rhyming Slang for a while.

i would love to see some quintessentially British photos. Love this road sign. Nice perspective. Are they usually black and white like this?

[Tams]

It's fantastic!

[Nikki G]

fantastically observed, these are great aren't they?! never would have thought of taking a picture though, and love the blue & yellow with the black and white

Like the angle of this shot..yeah lets get British...good theme, but dont want to alienate the multi national natrure of this site....so lets share what Britain has to offer in 2012

[Emma]

Beautiful angle. Love the idea of the british photo theme! Show everyone not living on the beautiful Isle what it has to offer.

[John Cornell]

Beautiful colours and great POV

[Sean O'Neill]

@lisjam1 Hi Lisa, yes they generally are. Glad you like it.

[Sean O'Neill]

@tamsg4 @lagerdalek Thanks guys.

[Sean O'Neill]

@nikkig Cheers Nikki, I appreciate your comment about my eye!! Funny the things we love about our great country. Wooden road signs are a great example of if it ain't broken don't fix it. I love them. I would love to do a photobook just with these in!! Weird I know!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@prosigma You are right Paul, it would be sad if anyone were alienating anyone else just by posting shots of their own homeland. Ilove seeing the work of others from all around the world, it gives me a context for them, and long may it continue.

[Sean O'Neill]

@emmac Thanks Emma, I and many others will do our best I am sure.

[Lisa]

Very British! Love the POV Sean :0)

[Sean O'Neill]

@lizzy_lu123 In a typically British response Lisa, Ta!!!

[Ann Stenson]

Just right. Love the pov and the color combo.

[Dana]

This is beautiful Sean. Great perspective and colours.

[Stacey]

Oh really like this POV.

[Jill]

Interesting pov! Love the daffodils - they add such a pretty "pop".

[Alicia]

I love this, the pov, the colours. I will await with anticipation the Quintessentially British shots, to whet my appetite for my visit in May!

[ladyjane]

Like your POV on this shot.

[Sophie]

I like you POV... Great colors

[MG Perkins]

I agree with the others, the POV and colors are great in this shot. Did you have to lay down on the ground to get this?

[Reva]

I must agree with the folks above, great POV Sean! Love that sunlight and the bright yellow & blue. Cute hand-lettered sign too. :)

[Valerie]

Lovely shot Sean colours are fab.

[Anja]

Beautiful angle and composition!

[Sean O'Neill]

@jennywren Thanks Jen, and especially for the fav. It always makes me happy when I am Faved!!

[Sheli]

Really like this one Sean. Had a suspicion the f stop was pretty high to get it all in focus. Great illusion of height.

Challenging shot, quintessential Blighty
