We all know what's important in our out of town over night stays. From an old motel on Chain of Rocks Road, Route 66, Granite City, Illinois.
Welcome sign, West end of I-10, near El Paso, Texas, coming in from New Mexico. There's a lot of Texas to go before getting to the East end, like about 850 miles, or some such!
I love the Paris Metro signs, the metro is a great system and moves the masses of efficiently under the city.
In the last 18 months I have been to the Australian mainland's most eastern point (Byron Bay)and very close to the western (Steep Point) and southern (Wilson's Promontory). With the Tip, I can now claim to have been to the four corners of the continent.
The Tricorn Centre was a Brutalist shopping, nightclub and car park complex in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. It was designed by Owen Luder and Rodney Gordon and took its name from the site's shape which from the air resembled a Tricorne hat. Constructed in the mid-1960s, it was demolished in 2004. It was home to one of the first Virgin Megastores and housed the largest Laser Quest arena in Europe.
The centre was a well-known example of 1960s architecture, and in the 1980s it was voted the 3rd ugliest building in the UK. In 2001, BBC Radio 4 listeners voted it the most hated building in the UK, and Prince Charles described it as "a mildewed lump of elephant droppings", although it was much admired by others, who saw it as an irreplaceable example of Brutalist architecture. Demolition of the Tricorn began on 24 March 2004 and lasted approximately nine months.

Another from Columbus, Indiana. This one is very bold and bright, As I came up to it to shoot, the skies opened up and poured heavy.
In the Sussex Weald, this village sign shows typical Wealden scenes - woodland and deer. (The Weald is in parts of Kent, Sussex and Surrey, between the North and South Downs. It's one of the most wooded areas of the country.)
