This sign was photographed at the Tax Day Tea Party in San Antonio, Texas. The rally boasted an attendance of 13,000. (Source here www.atr.org/people-attended-yesterdays-tax-tea-parties-a3... ) I was extremely moved at this event and was so proud and impressed with all the great signs, peaceful protest, and creativity of regular everyday Americans.
Snowy Owls at Boundary Bay, British Columbia
Edited to add (2/17/12): Since I posted this, I've had discussions with a few photographers who are annoyed by my hard-ass stance on this owl/space/ethics issue. They've told me it's perfectly acceptable for photographers to be out in the marshes, as long as they don't flush the owls. I wanted to find out what the "official" policy was. So, I called the regional office to get their take. The person I spoke with said their policy is that they do not want anyone out there, despite lack of enforcement. The signs are their best effort to discourage this behavior. But, because the land is Provincial, they have no control over that section of habitat itself. The bottom line is -- they do not want photographers in the marshes, for the owls' sake and for the sake of the habitat. They want people to stay on the dike and trail only.
-------------------------------
I'm posting pics of these signs first so I can rant just a bit on this concept. The dike and trail where you view the Snowy Owls is clearly marked with various warnings about staying on the path, avoiding harassment and avoiding approach on the owls. Although there were many birders and photographers respectfully abiding by the postings and putting the owls' well-being above the picture, there were quite a few photographers out in the field/habitat area throughout the day, venturing closer to the owls for their shot.
We chatted with a few who were coming out of the field, trying to impress upon them how important it was to stay out of that area and let the owls rest, away from human intrusion.Two owls were recently brought into a nearby rehabilitation center, emaciated, and I was told it's possible that constant interference is inhibiting their ability to fatten up for their migration home.
One of the photographers with whom we spoke said he knew full well that he wasn't supposed to be out there but he wanted to be close. Others were too far out into the marsh to reach without distressing the owls ourselves. So, it can feel like a bit of a helpless situation -- when you see other photographers approaching too closely, putting the owls on continuous alert, and sometimes flushing the owls -- but not being able to do anything about it for fear of causing the same disturbance.
What those photographers don't realize is that they were also setting a bad example for people out walking who didn't know any better. I heard at least one person say to her husband (who was carrying a point-and-shoot): "why don't you go out there for a closeup shot? Those other photographers are out there."
I hate to be judgmental, but when it comes to wildlife, I do get a bit of a hard edge in making sure people don't harass or harm. I can't for the life of me get into the heads of the people out there with 600mm and 800mm lenses who could have easily stayed on the path and still had some amazing shots. I have a humble little budget 70-300mm and still managed some nice photos from the pathway. The experience itself -- of being with the Snowies -- was actually cooler than getting the photos.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, what did you meet my blue-eyed son ?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded in hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. - From A Hard Rains A-Gonna Fall, B. Dylan

Proyecto paisaje urbano en Tetuán
Plaza del poeta Leopoldo Luis, calles Matadero con Ángel Puech, Hierbabuena, Lope de Haro, Marqués de Viana, Almortas… Barrio de Tetuán, Madrid
Proyecto Tetuán para la mejora de paisaje urbano de Tetuán tiene como objeto desarrollar una experiencia para explorar las posibilidades de mejora del paisaje urbano mediante intervenciones de carácter artístico durante 2013. Esta acción se encuentra entre las recogidas en el Plan Estratégico de Cultura del Ayuntamiento de Madrid 2012-2015 (PECAM) y se inscribe dentro de las líneas encaminadas al fomento de la creatividad, la participación pública y la difusión en la mejora del paisaje urbano. El proyecto contempla, por tanto, dos ámbitos de trabajo: por un lado el orientado a los artistas y sus intervenciones y, por otro, las tareas de difusión y participación ciudadana.
Tras varias sesiones de trabajo abiertas llevadas a cabo durante este año, se generado un grupo de trabajo para la gestión compartida del proyecto del que forman parte: integrantes de Red de agentes culturales de Tetuán (entre los que se encuentran Moenia, Pkmn, Taller de Casquería, Mood Studio o Bea Burgos, de Aquí Tetuán) colectivos dedicados a la creación, la arquitectura o el paisajismo vinculados o interesados en trabajar en el distrito de Tetuán, como Estudio Montes, Pez Arquitectos, Ahora Arquitectura y La Galería Magdalena, representantes o agentes vecinales del barrio, agentes de la Dirección General de Paisaje Urbano, de la Junta Municipal de Distrito e Intermediae.
Tras desarrollar conjuntamente el proyecto y definir las actuaciones a llevar a cabo, el grupo de trabajo ha invitado a otros colectivos a implicarse en acciones concretas acompañadas por agentes vinculados al distrito de Tetuán que han participado en la definición del proyecto. Entre ellos Germinando, Perricac, La Fresquera, Basurama y Zuloark.
También forman parte del proyecto los artistas implicados en los muros artísticos gestionados por el equipo de la Dirección General de Paisaje Urbano testeando el funcionamiento de la Oficina de Gestión de Muros. Entre ellos se encuentran Suso 33, San, E1000, Spy y Borondo.
La propuesta global del proyecto se concreta en cuatro emplazamientos principales, definidos colectivamente y gracias a la colaboración de la junta municipal de distrito que elaboró el catalogo de solares de propiedad municipal, así como del Área de Urbanismo que facilitó la información sobre la calificación de los terrenos para elegir el lugar del Huerto: la Plaza Leopoldo Luis, el solar situado en la calle Nuestra Señora del Carmen, el solar de la calle López de Haro con Berruguete y el solar de calle Matadero con Ángel Puech. Cada emplazamiento agrupa las distintas intervenciones y colaboradores.
- La Plaza Leopoldo Luis: Intervienen Estudio Montes y Pez Arquitectos, Germinando y Perricac.
- El solar de calle Matadero con Ángel Puech: Intervienen Moenia, La Fresquera, La Galería Magadena y Mood Studio.
- El solar situado en la Calle Hierbabuena: Intervienen Pkmn y Taller de Casquería.
- El solar de la calle Lope de Haro: Intervienen Basurama y Zuloark.
- Además Aquí Tetuán, Bea Burgos, llevará a cabo la intervención “Ventanas a Tetuán” basado participación vecinal y la recuperación de la memoria del distrito. A través de las ventanas, metáforas de la memoria de los ciudadanos, el proyecto trata de recuperar el paisaje urbano que no está presente físicamente, o que tan solo se intuye a partir de ciertos elementos - una fuente, un ladrillo, una acera, un adoquín -pero sigue existiendo en la mente de los vecinos. Mood Studio y La Galería Magdalena llevarán a cabo la documentación del proyecto a través de fotografías, retratos de los vecinos e interacciones a pie de calle que generarán un material fotográfico que será expuesto a posteriori. Miguel Díaz de Ahora Arquitectura propone un programa de paseos donde encontramos de lugares desconocidos y un itinerario guiado desde un punto de vista urbano para mostrar las intervenciones realizadas, su desarrollo y su entorno.

Each is only 1 land impact.
I used to wait for a sign, she said, before I did anything. Then one night I had a dream & an angel in black tights came to me & said, you can start any time now, & then I asked is this a sign? & the angel started laughing & I woke up. Now, I think the whole world is filled with signs, but if there's no laughter, I know they're not for me.
Perfect words for this beautiful woman who see's an angel in everyone.

Times Square, New York City, New Years Eve Ball Drop, 2013 - 2014
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Yes, this is a genuine road sign, high in the Cheviot Hills and close to the England/Scotland border. It's there to control the off-roaders that use the The Street, an ancient drove road. (The 'road' is the zigzag grassy line to the right of the sign.) Dates shown refer to lambing time in these hills.
The only way a 'motorist' could come across this sign is to have driven up to the ridge from the English side (no road though!). I have marked the position on the map.
This sign has some nice googie aspects to it, but it's content left me scratching my head. (Wisconsin Dells, WI)
