This was all over facebook on Friday and saw this sign this morning.
March 7th, 2011
I took this photo this evening purely because it amused me, not because I was planning to post it in my project! The power of the theme! It also gave me the opportunity to compose a silly write-up to go with it.



And here's another one that I took last month, which I'm quite proud of:

@edpartridge Haha..while in the UK a few years back I snapped a shot of a sign just like this! I got a kick out of it :)

@ED I have never seen an elderly people sign. Blind people crossing signs yes. That one was funy! Thanks for sharing!
March 8th, 2011
Had to share this one since it is a different kind of sign. I went a bit outside the box. Still count?
March 8th, 2011


Took this tonight after work without knowing the theme for this week. It was meant to be. :)
March 8th, 2011
@edpartridge ---hahaha, I've seen a sign very similar to this one where I grew up! I love that there's an additional sign telling you what the sign above it is supposed to be!

When I saw this week's competition theme -signs- I thought 'Man, that's easy in Molins!'. So here is my humble contribution, a randomly selected tiny sample of signs in my town. Clockwise from left:
· Even politicians co-operate to beautify Molins de Rei!: Political party poster asking how to improve the neighbourhood.
· Unfinished sentence on a semi-demolished wall: 'Roberta what you told me'. Note the spelling and syntactic indifference the artist is showing (in Spanish).
. A bench, the perfect canvas for a bunch of gibberish graffited messages.
· The only place where you could appropriately announce your message, begging for adverts :-0

@Scrivna As far as I know, this is a one-of-a-kind road sign: any closer and this building would be *in* the road!
