It’s a Sign …

This week, for the Lens-Artist Challenge, Johnbo bids us to seek out signs. My header photo was taken several years ago, but seems even more prescient now that it was then.

Let’s stay with the somewhat political, some more serious than others. Do click on each image to see it full size and read the explanatory caption.

Warning notices, some more serious than others. There’s even one from the Lockdown era. Remember that?

And a miscellany to finish off with: a tribute on our local buses after the death of Queen Elizabeth II; a light-hearted invitation to a coffee shop in Liverpool and a less than inviting hotel name in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India.

  11. Very evocative. Somehow I can’t believe some of these were just a few years ago, and in the case of HRH QE2 just last year. These are like time stamps. Great selection and response to the challenge.

  17. This is an excellent, quirky collection. The Barcelona one reminds me of a slogan I once saw scrawled on a local bridge ‘F*** the patriarchy!’ which left me thinking, ‘Are you sure you mean that?’

  20. A brilliant and fun collection, Margaret. So many smiles…I just had to go through them once again. Loved the trespassers, and only in England that could be a sign on the buses!

  21. Oh, no, it’s dark again! Margaret, your signs are hilarious, especially the very first one. I can tell you that this challenge has sparked my passion to look for those signs wherever I go now. There’s so much wisdom in some of them. I loved your photos.

  22. You reminded me of the lyrics to “Signs” by Five Man Electrical Band:

    Sign, sign
    Everywhere a sign
    Blockin’ out the scenery
    Breakin’ my mind
    Do this, don’t do that
    Can’t you read the sign?
    Sign, sign
    Everywhere a sign
    Sign
