Wig and Mitre, the 'wig' side of the sign, Lincoln; Bailgate with the tudor-style house [now the tourist information centre] in the backgound.
The "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign is a little different than usual. Instead of the usual yellow bulbs around the edge of the sign, they have been changed to pink for National Beast Cancer Awareness Month (October)

Old pre-worboys road sign seen near Halesowen- major road is a bit of an overkill, as all roads on this junction are quiet and sleepy... presumably it would have had a warning triangle on the top as well.
The original neon Magikist signs stood a mile or two from downtown Chicago, on all the major expressways into the city. The last of them came down a decade or so ago, but I created this digital version--in plain old MSPaint, which is all I had to work with--on February 8, 2013, a date that will go down in history as nothing special.
And if you think you could have done a better job than I did by using a better program, well, you're probably right, so please do it. My version is just a placeholder until a better version of the sign shows up. I'm just surprised that no one did it before now. Meanwhile, this is better than nothing.
And if you want to see my spectacular B * L * I * N * K * I * N * G version of this classic sign, then cut & paste the link below, which will take you right over to my blog.

The Kramer Junction is where HWY 395 crosses HWY 58 and if your lucky enough to be here before daylight takes hold you will see the sign for the Roadhouse Restaurant and Bakery aglow.
Legend has it that if you stop here at least 30 minutes before sunrise your journeys will be safe and rewarding. This is a convenient place to take five - top off the tank - refill the coffee or make room for more coffee.
Original photos by otzberg and squareinteeth. I created this to show the complex signage required to facilitate a campus policy that had designated smoking areas, as opposed to 100% smoke-free.
I've been super busy with work at the church lately that my treks into the backcountry have come to a screeching hault. However, with the arrival of fall and the arrival of one of my best friends, I got out today when walked over to Stupid Falls. Numerous mini waterfalls with the two main falls still turning out quite a bit of water. This area area a fresh snow would be epic!
I'll hopefully be posting more frequently now that my work schedule is becoming less filled. Hope ya'll have a great Labor Day weekend.
The Greensand Way is a footpath covering about 80 miles through mainly very rural countryside in Surrey and Kent. It follows a route parallel to and south of the North Downs, following a ridge of sandstone (which sometimes looks green because of the presence of the mineral glauconite). Because of Louise’s disability, it’s not possible for us to walk this route, but today we decided to follow the extreme eastern end by car. Our route took us through the villages of Hamstreet, Kingsnorth, Great Chart, Hothfield, Little Chart Forstal, Little Chart and finally Pluckley.

The signs you see around highways and freeways always seemed harsh, barren and intrusive when juxtaposed with the sea, clouds and trees. But when you take a larger view of the system, in terms of interconnected roadways held together by technology, it takes on a beauty of its own.
Driving through the Ardennes on a grey late afternoon, I saw this old sign on the roadside approaching Dinant from the north.

No need to pass through the Leaky Cauldron. Now even Muggles can shop in Diagon Alley by building this fantastically magical set that includes 3 extensively detailed buildings and 11 minifigures! Join Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they shop for their Hogwarts school supplies. Visit Ollivanders, Borgin and Burkes, and Gringotts Bank. Each Diagon Alley building is realistically detailed. Ollivanders offers an extensive selection of wands, storage shelves and a step ladder that allows Ollivander to gather wands from the top floor. The front desk has an “exploding” function for those inconvenient times when a spell goes awry. Borgin and Burkes includes a scary skeleton, “glow-in-the-dark” elements, a fireplace attached to the Floo Network and a Vanishing Cabinet that Dark wizards might use to sneak into Hogwarts. Gringotts Bank is an impressive two-story building with large double doors, and can be opened completely into one large building or closed to create one smaller building. The bank’s interior features a removable vault, along with the Philosopher’s Stone, a clerk’s desk, a chandelier and ‘wonky’ support pillars.

Before 1933 bridge owners had to make the weight limit signs by law, so were usually council, water or railway companies.
This sign was spotted while making our pilgrimage to Abbey Road in St. Johns Wood, London. I'd never seen such a sign before. Now in America we have the "slow children" signs which can be seen as a joke by themselves but I think this one beats it. The elderly stick figures alone are awesome. I subconciously just figured all stick figures were the same age but I guess they age just like humans. 1 human year = 4 stick figure years?
