On the opposite corner from Ballyhoo was this nice vintage sign.

DM&E sign for the yard at Huron, SD

The lower sign in pressed metal should be a pre-Worboys direction besides the destination. I will put it in the pool as a good and very rare example.

 

I saw this sign at the pool area and immediately spotted the *Summersaults* and thought it might have been on purpose . . . .

Boston, MA – Seriously how many signs can you have in one area. I know the streets of Boston have been under construction since the 1700’s but come on!!

The sign is on the south side of the building. Another ghost sign adorns the north facade.

 

The building at 623 S. Wabash Ave. was constructed in 1895 and designed by Solon S. Beman or the Studebaker Brothers Carriage Company of Fort Wayne, Indiana as its Chicago regional office and warehouse facility. It was later owned by the Brunswick Company, makers of wood furnishings and built-in furniture for libraries, universities and a variety of public commercial and governmental facilities. The building was acquired by Columbia College in 1983 and now houses classrooms, academic offices, a computerized newsroom, sciences laboratories, art studios, stage and costume design workshops and two public gallery spaces.

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.
