Vandals for a Righteous Cause? or Mixed Messaging

@dailyshoot #ds230. Find a sign in front of a vista that tells a story. (Don't walk on the grass.) Make a photograph and post it.

 

This one gives context, but not necessarily clarity. It might also be short on context. This is a sign that makes my daughter shreik from time to time. The "vandalism" by cultural conservatives is to me ironic, but to her it's a source of fits. I try not to drive up to this stop sign very often.

 

For those concerned about my own safety and whether I'm a scofflaw, I did part and walk to shoot these.

 

My first try at colorgrading this one. Actually, the other one comes from a different version. Challenge here? Getting deeply faded reds to remain visible without altering the rest of the image to something far from naturalistic. Yes, I know I could mask and microadjust this, but I'll wait until someone expresses enough interest to make me think this might be gallery material.
