PLEASE NOTE I HAVE EXTENDED THIS CHALLENGE UNTIL AFTER THE WEEKEND< NOW CLOSING 26TH AUGUST
Whoop whoop! , first time i have won this particular challenge, Its always a good one to try out and fall back on if your phojo has taken a hike,..
and this time, why not follow it down the road and look at the road markings along the way, I'm talking about the Road Surface Markings used on paved roadways to provide guidance and information to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, ie. The white and yellow lines, arrows and signage painted on the roadway that tell you where to go, where you can park, where to cross, and what is forbidden, You may include hardware like the cats eyes, utitlities markers , manholes and so on , Over time with repainting, weather and wear they can become quite the work of art that you may have walked or driven over countless times without taking much notice of, and there will be regional variations that i am curious about..
Please enter as many photos as you like, in either abstract or standard realistic style. as long s Road markings are the main subject, But please take care out there!
photos must be taken between now and Sunday 22nd August 2018 and use the tag mundane-roadmarkings http://365project.org/tags/mundane-roadmarkings

@lindalee yup, so go see what you can find on your travels over the next couple of weeks and take photos... safely of course, dont stand in the traffic !
@kali66 I’m so glad of this coincidence of subjects. Perhaps it will attract more people. And I’m glad that you like Fontana as much as I do we’ll keep in touch!
thanks for the link here - I think they are wonderful. I shall have to have a hunt and hopefully will find more material for my abstract month this way.
Tweets ahoy!
