Our Daily Challenge 7-13 June : Caution.
One of two signs by the little railway in Poole Park.
Townies beware!
"STEPS Cars next left"
I am not sure a Mini or a 2CV or other car could get up or down those steps! LOL
Signs of Autumn most definatly just around the corner in Snowdonia this weekend, with the cooler weather patterns lately and the changing colours in the grass and shorter days with lower sun certainly bring out the detail within the landscape, great place to be.

Hotel St. Leo, built in 1913, was one of many hotel buildings completed around this time, catering to an influx of travelers brought by the railroad and changing the face of downtown Stockton. It sat vacant at the time this photo was taken.
Someone had erected this blunt but eloquent plea to the youth of Glen Innes NSW to refrain from putting graffiti on the door or building of the closed but restored railway station. Imploring respect - what a good idea. Wonder if it will work in the long run. This sign is that seen on the adjacent photo of the door etc. on the railway platform.
By the way, it is a “railway station” not a “train station”!
Glen Innes, NSW.
as tonight is the oscars i thought i’d put up a picture of the hollywood sign.
well, actually the back of the hollywood sign.
i love that the hollywood sign has become this iconic image, representing l.a universally, far and wide.
what makes it amazing is that originally the hollywood sign was erected as temporary advertising for a real estate development.
originally it said ‘hollywoodland’ (the name of the real estate development), but the ‘land’ part fell down.
paris has the eiffel tower, nyc has the empire state building, rome has the colliseum, and l.a has a big old sign advertising a real estate development from the 20’s.
which, if you dislike l.a, you probably see it as a symbol of the quick, vapid, and disposable nature of l.a culture.
or if you like l.a (as i do) you see it as something kind of odd, modern, accidental, impermanent, and endearing.
so here’s to the world’s most famous and recognizable real estate development advertisement.
ok, happy academy awards.
