I can't stop starring at this water sign. I see the water trying to break the sign every day, year after year. I see the sign helping people and boats to avoid danger. I see the sign telling me to stop, to think, to be calm before the next step. Like in life, you have to think before you take some actions. If you have to follow certain rules... But rules are there to be broken, aren't they? And this is the case in this picture.
I deliberately got the important parts of the picture in the thirds: the sky, the wave breaking and the foreground. But the sign is bang in the middle. I tried other compositions but it wasn't working. But somehow I like it so much that I just prefer the way it is. But there is one detail that for me makes this picture: the red part of the sign is slightly tilted compared to the horizon. Love it!
Post processing I just worked with Nik Color Effex and saturated the top part of the sign so it has more impact. Used Dfine to push some details and remove some annoying color noise and that was about it. What you guys think?

The one-way Firehole Lake Drive takes you through the woods and back to a place where hidden geysers and thermal features that can't be seen from the road, are found. Several pullouts and parking areas along your drive make it easy for you to get out of the car and take your time admiring these natural wonders. This is also where Great Fountain Geyser is located. Great Fountain Geyser is the only geyser not in the Upper Geyser Basin that is predicted at the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center. Eruptions 100 ft. high shoot out from a pool of water in a magnificent display. The road continues on and squeezes between Firehole Lake and Hot Lake before taking you back into the woods where it eventually meets back up with the main road right across the street from the Fountain Paint Pot parking lot and boardwalk. Ample parking is available at Firehole and Hot Lakes with boardwalks leading you along the banks of the steaming water. RVs, buses and trailers are not permitted on this road due to narrow sections along the way. Pick up an Old Faithful Area Trail Guide at any visitor center so you can read about all the different features and stops around Firehole Lake Drive. [Source: www.youryellowstonevacation.com/index.php?p=region&re...] Yellowstone's Firehole Lake Drive is a 3-mile, one-way side road off the Grand Loop located between the Old Faithful exit and Madison Junction. It has many geysers and hot springs visible from the road. There is also a boardwalk around the Firehole Lake itself, leading you to small geysers and springs.

Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park]

Penguins apparently like to get under your car and do brake repair. So you have to watch out for them.
On one of the back roads near Peebles we came across several of these warning signs which I suspect someone local has made. They are certainly eye-catching and did make us keep more of a lookout for the woolly jumpers.
Water Sign.
One the few remaining and intact water sign in Swanage Beach. Most of the others have been corroded and can fall off at any time. This one however, seem to be resisting the weather, kind of showing his strength. It wasn't a easy shot. Rain was coming and going but Mark Bauer Photography stayed there waiting to clear, because it is the sort of shot I like quite a lot.

Colonel Robert E. Lee, who was the overall commander, stopped abolitionist John Brown from stealing arms from the U.S. armory at Harpers Ferry. Brown's plan was to pass these weapons on to slaves for them to rise up. Wrote Robert E. Lee of the event, "the plan [raiding the Harpers Ferry Arsenal] was the attempt of a fanatic or madman." Lee erroneously believed that the slaves in the raid were content in slavery. He believed that the participating slaves were not willfully in rebellion but only did so because they were forced by Brown. [See Wikipedia]
Brown was caught, guarded by J.E.B. Stuart and Stonewall Jackson, and tried for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia. He was hung on December 2, 1859. These individuals were dancing on a boiler that was about to explode. The American Civil War was just around the bend, not quite a year and a half away.
Stuart and Jackson would die in that war. Lee would be grazed on the cheek by a sharpshooter's bullet. His sizable family home would be seized and turned into Arlington Cemetery. After the South seceded, the commonwealth of Virginia would lose a large swath of its west, which wanted to remain in the Union, including this small community of Harpers Ferry.
The town of Harpers Ferry lies just beyond the bend in the road ahead.
Cherry Beach is a lakeside beach park located at the foot of Cherry Street just south of Unwin Avenue in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is on Toronto's outer harbour just east of the Eastern Gap. It was once connected with Toronto Islands as part of the former peninsula before 1852 and later was referred to as Fisherman's Island. It was originally named Clarke Beach Park after Harry Clarke, a Toronto alderman who was responsible for creating the park in the early 1930s. In 2003, the city changed it to Cherry Beach which is the local common name. Despite its location at the tip of Toronto's formerly heavily industrial Port Lands area, Cherry Beach has still been a popular gathering place for years. There is no boardwalk or proper picnic area, and much of the surrounding areas is marshland or leftover grounds from what was once commercial industry and factory grounds. Recently the park has undergone improvements which includes a paved entranceway and a renovated washroom and swimming change room facilities. For many years it was one of the few Toronto beaches that was clean enough for swimming, windsurfing and kitesurfing. It has change rooms for bathers and barbecue areas for picnickers. It also has an off-leash area for dog walkers. The Martin Goodman Trail passes through the park. In summer, the beach water is generally calm and slightly warmer than other Toronto beaches along the lake shore, as its shallow water is sheltered by the Leslie Street Split from direct surges of the Lake Ontario, However, there are extensive growth of seaweeds underwater that degrades the swimming experience.

Found this during a heavy thunderstorm outside Paris Texas. In true Texas style, those who have theft in their hearts have been given clear warning of the possible consequences.
Warning sign near Christina's place, I have a weird sense of humor so this makes me smile whenever I see it.

This photo was taken in the ‘Landschaftspark’ (commonly known as LaPaDu) in Duisburg-North (Germany). This is a public park in which the center is formed by the ruins of a blast furnace complex shut down in 1985. The blast furnace complex was built in 1902 by the "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort", and was later taken over by the Thyssen group. It was badly damaged during the Second World War, but it was rebuilt in the 1950s. In 1985 the blast furnaces of the complex had become too small to be profitable, and the complex was closed. The site was laid out as a public park between 1991 and 2002.
Most buildings in the park are nowadays used for recreational purposes. From the former blast furnace 5, one has a good view over Duisburg and the surrounding area, one can dive in the gas tank, and some climbing walls have been built in some of the ore bunkers and climbing routes have been mapped out. Moreover, events are regularly organized in the park. The site is included in the "Route der Industriekultur" that goes past industrial sites in the Ruhr area.
I have to admit to ignorance of the fact that a separate Highway Code was issued for Northern Ireland as in this 1955 edition. There are some minor differences such as in the subsitution of local place names on direction signs and the various Road Acts and Regulations are versions promulgated as being specific to Northern Ireland. I do like the line about "you must not loiter on pedestrian crossings'.
These pages show signs that 'warn' and 'inform' and are of the pre-Worboys designs that had been revised in 1944. This shows the original 'schools' sign using the torch of knowledge or learning that was replaced after 1955 by the school-children symbols.
The direction signs use local destinations to explain and so the A29 to Coleraine, the A37 to Limavady and the B186 to Dungiven appear.
