SLOW by sangwann

SLOW

I was walking along this area in St Julian’s the other day and saw this curving row of bollards which I thought would make a nice picture. The ‘slow’ sign on the road surface added to the attraction. The buildings on the right are of modern design. The ‘slat’ enclosures are for the air-conditioning units (I think!)

Joke: A farmer living by a country road is increasingly concerned by speeding traffic. Worried that he and his livestock are in danger he calls the police and asks them to put up a sign. They put up a ‘Slow’ sign but it has no effect. They try putting up a ‘Pedestrian Crossing’ sign, but that has no effect either. Finally they try erecting a ‘Children at Play’ sign, but the traffic still keeps whizzing past. Eventually the farmer asks if he can put up his own sign and the police agree. A few days later a policeman stops by to see how things are going. He’s amazed to see the traffic moving at a snail’s pace, then he notices the farmer’s home-made sign by the roadside, it reads, ‘Nudist Colony’.
Thank you so very much for looking and for all the wonderful comments and for all the fav's which helped put my shot of yesterday's on pp. Very much appreciated.
