I'm trying to get to know my new (to me) Tamron macro lens, so I've taken a few shots in and around our home.
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are visiting Street Signs around the world.
The road to Lonbain is only about 1/4 mile long and Lonbain is no more than a few derelict barns that are being renovated. This view is looking up the hill to the "main" road where the sign for Lonbain is. November 26 2009.
This photograph I shot with a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/2 Novar-Anastigmat 1:4,5 f=105 mm on a Kodak Gold 200 film.
A short circular walkabout of about 9.86km setting out from Old Amersham on a grey dull day.
This would have worked better if it was an adult and child walking down the path.

I think it will translate to
" Pedestrians Walk Quickly But Do Not Run This Way"!
But who knows what exact instructions were originally issued?
Who cares? The truth is no one does.
Unless the signs convey a meaningful message what is the point of having them at all?

Initiated in 2002, this ongoing roadside intervention is located along Route 322 at the gateway to Meadville. Read Between the Signs (RBTS) involves the design and fabrication of a 1200'x9' sculptural relief made of discarded road signs and featuring solar- and wind-powered kinetic components. RBTS is attached to an existing chain link fence surrounding PennDOT's storage lot and depicts images and forms that reference the Allegheny Mountains, the French Creek watershed, roads, PennDOT workers, farms and forests. This sculptural “fence” beautifies the gateway to Meadville, while creating a unique sense of place and identity for our community. Since 2002 RBTS has evolved into a participatory community-based public art project led by Arts & Environment Initiative Director and artist Amara Geffen. It also has become a landmark for the Meadville community.
..............and a sad fact of driving these days..!
I thought about this for some time, and finally decided to do it - - - digitally, of course !!
The sun was shining so another chance for 'long' walk,
13km circular route setting out from Christmas Common towards Ibstone returning via Turville Heath and Northend. I forgot my camera so had to resort to photos from my mobile.
More stunning views of the Chilterns.

Seen in the winter of 1985, I think. I'm not old enough to remember when the bottom sign was in common use on Ohio state roads. I would like to have one that came from Route 7, but if any exist, I doubt I could afford one.
No Cross-Channel ferries anymore, but the sign remains. And the Pavilion Theatre still stands. Photo 24 December 2015
A Hallmark shop separates Kmart and Kroger. In the lower right, if you look closely, you can see the road sign for the new outdoor shopping center built next door, anchored by JC Penney and Marshalls. I remember when that was more trees.
A team of workmen repairing the drives of the houses on the opposite side of the road just arranged their traffic warning paraphernalia on my property as they finished work for the weekend. Had they asked then there would have been no problem, I would have directed them further on to our plot, further away from the pavement (sidewalk).
I heard about these from one of my Facebook groups: it's one of a pair of mileage signs that has a faraway city as its third destination. According to this Toledo Blade article, it's just a product of the DOT having some fun and breaking up the monotony of traveling (which I don't seem to have a problem with, do I?). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any photos of the other sign.
