It's not until I'd processed this photo that I realised just how many different signs are competing for attention along this street! It was the woman looking in the jewellery shop window that caught my attention.... none of the other shops were open at the time.
We left our mark in Watson Lake's Sign Forest. The forest was started in 1942 by a lonely soldier, and today there are around 100,000 personal signs. These signs were put up by visitors from all over the world. Some are license plates, street names, and handmade plaques like ours, whatever works.
I visited this eco-lodge at sunrise in the highlands of Guatemala where the shop front is this sign with the parking rates. Obviously what they sell is the impressive view of the volcanoes and the Antigua Guatemala Valley. Here the Agua Volcano in the background.

Having not messed up for some time I did it in spades on this evening. First I left my phone at home and I'm sad to say it made me realise just how much I've grown to depend on it. Just little things like planning to get a coffee from the McDonalds on the A55 and then following the Sat Nav from there down to Talacre.
Second I remembered to do everything before coming out except to put the battery back in my camera and my spare battery was on charge at home. Fortunately I had the other camera with me which I rarely do these days.
And thirdly I misread the sign on the car park and found myself locked in when I got back to the car. Couldn't find a pen to note the emergency number down that was on the locked gate and no phone to take a picture so had to memorise it.
There had been one other photographer up wind from me and he must've had the loudest beep for his timer I've ever heard and it was shot after shot of beep, beep, beep, beep, click. Five seconds later the same and this went on for 30 minutes+. There was also a lady walking her dog on the lead who kept shouting 'Oswald, Oswald, Oswald, come on boy, good boy, Oswald, Oswald, Oswald...'
He's on the bloody lead right next to you wtaf? then beep beep beep beep click.
So I still had those noises going around my head whilst repeating over and over the telephone number and deciding whether I could knock on someone's door at 10 O'clock at night. I decided against that instead opting for finding a late night dog walker on one of the many caravan parks. I finally found one and he kindly let me use his phone.
Security were fairly quick to be fair and when he arrived he slammed the car door and marched up to me with a very stern looking face and motioned for me to wind the window down.
"Under paragraph 3.1, sub section 2, directive 5 of the 1978 guidance laid out in the subsequent parliamentary act..." Oh shit, oh shit I'm going to have to pay a fixed penalty notice to be let out..... "I hereby inform you that unfortunately I'm unable to let you out unless you can provide me and the lads with Cornish pasties or at the bare minimum pork pies!"
Phew, what a guy:) An experience I don't wish to repeat!
HSS!
This image shows a view to Lake Constance on a rainy day in November. I liked the reduced details and nice waves of the reflections in the water.
Dieses Bild zeigt einen Blick auf den Bodensee von Lindau aus an einem regnerischen Tag im November. Ich mage die Beschränkung auf die drei Hinweisschilder und die kleinen Wellen der Reflektionen im See.
Ba'a'ah!

The sign itself appears to be a bit of an antique. I like the dead ivy that once grew on the wall around it. This photograph is in living color.
