The old enamel signs have such colour design and depth that they have become by right a true collectors item
Along the South Platte River Road.
When my son was 4 or 5 and learning to read, we lived in Tucson, not far from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. We would often go to see the animals, including many kinds of snakes. I tried to convince him that this sign meant to watch out for snakes along the road. He didn't buy it for long.
I love the Paris Metro signs, the metro is a great system and moves the masses of efficiently under the city.
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.

I'm pretty sure this was on the left end of the store, so (if I'm right that is, haha!), that would make this the aisle 16 marker at the rear aisle.

We didn't speak or read Gaelic but I think I got the meaning of this sign.
Amazingly, this sign was this exact color - I changed nothing. Three months after taking it, I don't have a clue where in Dingle we were standing when I took the picture but it's not a big town. I have to say that we absolutely loved Dingle and Slea Head. It was probably the highlight of our trip to Ireland this past summer. I took at least 10-15 pictures of different Guinness signs in Ireland, but this was the only one in Gaelic. It just had flavor.
My co-worker Rich had this sign made. In areas where there are potential hazards, it's important to alert those who might not otherwise be aware of them.
