#Signs

This giant peace sign in tiny lights appeared on the front of a house in my neighborhood shortly after the Iraq war began.

The Geldeston village sign.

I had occasion to go into ‘Lively Medical Center’ In January. I expected to be greeted by happy people bearing snacks. I thought maybe they would even have a juice bar in the corner and exercises going on in the main room. Instead, these were the least lively people I had encountered in a long time. The ones that were not on walkers were very grumpy and didn’t even greet me with any joy. Not only that, but the first thing they wanted to know was my birth date. That will bring down a mood fast. In fact, these people all looked sick to me.

That should warn you to be careful when taking any sign literally.

This morning I reprocessed this image at much higher resolution for an upcoming magazine publication. The original edit had been made on a tiny laptop monitor the night we shot that picture. It's a bit easier on my iMac at 27 inches... ;) As usual, if you have any question about the technique, join the conversation in my learning group fb.com/groups/ericpare

Recently while having dinner to reconnect with some coworkers, I spotted this ghost of old signage near the restaurant.

Obviously a twenty first century road sign.

A collection of signs found in the Old Railway Workshops when they closed down. They now form part of the permanent exhibition at The Museum at Inveresk in Launceston. Walker Evans would have loved them.

Rustic Exit this sign is in an old mill that has seen much better days, shot in North Carolina.

A sign on one of the flea markets I'd passed by this weekend while traveling to the coast. Appears to have veen recently hung as there was no rust on the attaching screws. The light streak in the middle I would guess was probably caused by leaning up against something while in storage.

Vintage Coke Sign refreshing an healthful so the sign says, found in the Carolina's.

I went to Cypressmede Park to look for signs of spring wildflowers. There were the glimmerings of little shoots here and there. This little Red-backed Salamander was a pleasant find on a warm early spring day.

1st leaves in the vineyards I found turning Fall colors.

Singing Sands rock pools, Isle of Eigg.

Foreground rock pool adds the most dramatic of foreground interest to what is probably the most stunning location for seascapes anywhere.

I'm starting to see more and more trees with little green leaves growing on them and the past two days have been warm and sunny. The weather forecast for the rest of the month shows similar weather with the occassional rain storm. It's hard to have a bad day with this kind of external change.
