These two signs are on the down platform at Chelmsford Railway Station in the UK. (and probably not noticed by most travellers who use the platform)
One is a gradient marker which mean that in the down direction the track rises by 1 foot in the next 152 feet of travel. The top sign means that this is bridge number 152 to which this sign is position over. What's interesting is that the top marker is very old. It still has flakes of turquoise paint which was one of the corporate colours of the the Great Eastern Railway (GER) which was amalgamated into the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923. So there's no doubt in my mind that this sign dates from 1889 when the station was built by the GER..
Looking at the legend of the lower painted numbers in an educated guess are from the 1930s.
The fact that these are the same numbers is purely coincidental.
Based on some of the manipulated photos I posted as abstracts, this is a completely made up image I created using Paintbrush, a free color-paint program on my Mac. I can see too many artifacts from the tool that my skill isn't up to dealing with. HOWEVER, the basic thought seems to have worked out ok. What I noticed in the manipulated images of the inside of a crab's shell is that having a gradient or progression in a limited palate going along one dimension, and then applying a second palate and shape in another direction was "interesting" to look at. So here's a spray-paint gradient in blue tones, upper left to lower right, with a poured color splater going right to left, fading from orange to bright yellow.
Edited SRTM (Shuttle Radar mapping mission) image of the elevations of the Earth. I used a non-black and white gradient for a slightly more "festive" looking Earth.
