Sign which appears on cottages in Orcheston and elsewhere on Salisbury plain, Wiltshire. A number of houses on the plain were destroyed by flood in 1841 and many people were made homeless.
This the only shot on the trip that came close to a nighttime neon sign. The place looked like it was still operating. The 'Business Suites' looks added on.
This is the first major sign that greets drivers as they arrive in Washington, DC via the Teddy Roosevelt Bridge.
The first three options lead into that famously tangled mess of highways southeast of the Kennedy Center. The signs themselves could be simplified: first, let's use a consistent font. The two EASTs are clearly different. I would also center them with the numbers in the highway symbols (66 and 50). I would consistently abbreviate Avenue - you see they use Ave with Constitution but spell it out with Independence. I'd always use Ave and keep it on the same line as Independence. Next, there's no need to indicate Downtown under 50 EAST - I'd consider E Street to be closer to downtown anyways.
That boxy truck on the left is used to move the concrete barriers two times every work day. They switch the direction of the middle lane since the traffic flow is lopsided, with more cars driving into the city in the morning and then flocking into Virginia at night. It would be interesting to see whether patterns have normalized as DC experiences a housing boom and Virginia experiences a jobs boom.
Here’s a look at the screen printing process. ADOT screen prints when there’s a need for multiples of the same sign.
As a trained and fervent economist, this (to me) is the *economic* equivalent of having a Bible signed by the Son of the Holy Father!
The Father being Ralph Elliott (of Elliot Wave Principal), and the son being Robert Prechter. Note that Prechter has moved well beyond just Elliott Wave and is the "Holy Father" in Socionomics.
As a derivatives trader I studied and implemented Elliot Wave in my trading decisions...I also bought and read Prechter's books throughout the years.
I was in a position to have some conversations with his firm last week and was sent a signed book for my effort!
Truly the pinnacle of my economic existence!
Sign marking the border between the municipalities of Aalsmeer and Amstelveen, the Netherlands. This sign is located along Rietwijkeroordweg (road), just before the intersection with Bosrandweg, which can be seen in the background.
I had never been anywhere before where they give cars the right-of-way in the downtown, heavy pedestrian area. And the signs are not really at eye level.
In my opinion it makes for a pretty crappy city when pedestrians have to wait at crosswalks and dash across the street between cars.
In Hawaii, it's common for folks to make and display "No Spray" signs on their property to prevent government weed-control crews from spraying herbicide on their roadside plantings. I've shot photos of over 30 such signs so far, and I've only covered our neighborhood.
Here's a crude collage of these signs I put together a few months ago.
This is my only large mosaic commission so far.
It was mosaiced on 7 separate WEDI boards and finished at the sight after installation.
I used a few colors of a frost resistant ceramic tile family.
The two gray pillar-like parts of the wall were not painted at the time of installation yet. The colors of the board are too pale here on this picture.
