Many people ask me if you are allowed to go into Dinorwic quarry. I am not a good person to ask this to. If I can't think of a good reason why something isn't allowed I ignore any rule, regulation, law unless someone can give me a good reason 'why'. So instead of saying, Yes or No, here is the sign for you to read.
It is strictly forbidden to enter the quarry.
But if you do, it is entirely at your own risk.
I think it is an acknowledgement by First Hydro who own the land that people can't resist going in there for recreation. After all, it is worthy of being a UNESCO World Heritage site.
PS. The public footpaths are shown as red lines on the map on the sign.
Sign along McConnell Road, Susquehannock State Forest, Potter County.
Unpaved McConnell Road passes by many gas-drilling sites as it traverses the state forest. Rutted, rocky, and filled with potholes, the road was a challenge even for my high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicle.
I'd previously been at the other end of Banbury Street earlier in the year when I took shots of the former Eagle & Tun pub. I had no idea back then that a Grade II* listed building was at the end of the road.
I checked beforehand on Heritage Gateway for any Grade II* listed buildings in Digbeth and the Birmingham Gun Barrel Proof House came up.
For a Sunday morning there was no one here, might also be due to it's location, other side of the railway line.
Quite regularly down here I head trains passing by loudly.
Obviously this place was built before the railway line existed (but probably after the local canal was built).
Near here is Proof House Junction (on both the railway line and canal).
Here it is, at the end of Banbury Street.
Warning signs on building to the right of Gun Barrel Proof House.
On the left - Danger Fragile Roof, on the right - Use crawling boards.
Another example of hand-drawn traffic sign. This example is from Moeciu Pământeni, in Prahova County. Note the curious shape of the girl's pony tail -- I think that the artist wanted to draw a knotted ribbon at the end of the pony tail. The young woman looks determined, while the man is rather confused and lets himself be lead away by his spirited companion.
Common warning sign in parks in Hilo, and other parts of Hawai'i. I never saw a coconut fall, but I did have a palm frond land hard the top of the car once, driving down the street.
The mountain lion mentioned was shot before this picture was taken after a mother ignored signs like this and brought her small children into the park. No humans were injured.
I've been noticing some harrowing graffiti around Sacramento, apparently by the same artist; some seem to be tributes to people who have died on the streets, and others are distress signals, and a few even include a little ray of hope. I'll keep an eye peeled for more of these and chronicle all that I can. I'd love to talk to the artist sometime to learn more about the stories these walls tell.

Serif typefaces with stroke contrast (eg thinner and thicker strokes) are rare on traffic signs. Italic normally are used as a secondary typeface. Condensed typefaces are used where no one really is in charge of the final content. Three in one is unique!
Looking east from the intersection of E. 2nd St. Rd. with Gardner Rd. in Galien Township, Berrien County, Michigan.
Electricity substation near the Junction of the A859 Tarbert road and C79 Bays road, Isle of Harris. Because of the wire fence, you really need to get up close to pick out the detail....
The place was literally crackling and buzzing with electricity!
I spent almost the entire length of the 2 minute exposure light painting all the electrical hardware with red LED. I wanted it to look like the warning was justified ;-)
Finished off with a quick splash of natural LED on the sign.

How typical of London Transport back in the day to first of all surface a road with different colour tarmac and then to put a sign up! In the organisation's Johnston typeface and of a style fitted in the 1950s and '60s.
This is the standard shape of the warning traffic-sign "Children" in Romania. The two oulines are drawn in a strange combination of abstratization and realistic detail. The boy is leading the girl; he carries a briefcase, she carries a purse. The boy is wearing short pants, the girl is wearing a mini-skirt. The girl has a pony tail and a knotted ribbon.
After finding the station on Bournville Lane, I wanted to find access to the station from above including the canal, so went up Franklin Way towards Mary Vale Road.

Day 10, Sunday 3/25/07, our last night in Puerto Vallarta before our flight home: Instructions on responding to emergencies posted in the hall at the Hotel Belmar.
The hotel was recommended to us by someone who lives nearby, and we were satisfied with it. Our a/c didn't work, so we had to leave windows open, which made for a brighter and noisier night than we'd hoped, but overall the place was nice and clean and well managed.

I posted this last year (see below photo) but apparently Snow Plow dirvers didn't heed the homeowners warning and broke the gate.
The homeowner expanded his signage to include photos of his damaged gate.

If John Lopez wanted attention, he's got it now. For the past 15 years, Lopez has lived in a brick Georgian at 103rd Street and Trumbull Avenue in Chicago's Mount Greenwood community. He likes the home. Loves the neighborhood.
He just can't stand the snowplows.
Not all of the snowplows. Just the ones that come barreling down 103rd Street, sending tidal waves of slush, ice and salt to pelt the fence surrounding his yard and the northern face of his house.
"It sounds like we're getting hit by a car," Lopez said. "We know the drivers who live in the area are doing a super job. It's the guys who come in on relief, the cowboys. They are going way too fast next to these houses that are almost right on top of the street."
This winter, Lopez made his dissatisfaction known for all of the world to see - or at least anyone who drives along busy 103rd Street, just east of St. Xavier University. His approach has made him somewhat of a folk hero in the area.
Attached to his house are a pair of large signs purposely posted at the eye level of someone seated in the driver's seat of a plow.
"Snow Plow Drivers Slow Down," declares one. The other reads "I'm Tired Of Snow Plow Damage!" It shows the aftermath from an airborne avalanche of snow sent by a plow blade: A cedar fence post snapped like a toothpick and a gate buckled and splintered.
Lopez paid FedEx Office about $60 for the signs, each almost 3-by-3 feet on white cardboard.
To illuminate them, Lopez outfitted the side of his house with a light that kicks on at dusk.
"I know they have to see them," he said. "They have got their attention. That was my main goal. We'll see how they do."
Here's the kicker: Lopez drives a plow. For the Chicago Park District.
As a full-time truck driver, one of his many duties is clearing snow on park district property.
"Most of the guys are doing a great job," he said. "I'm just asking them nicely, 'Slow down.'''
The signs seem a little obnoxious, but they sure beat the alternative.
One night last winter, Lopez waited up for what he felt was one especially inconsiderate driver until 2 a.m. When he drove by Trumbull Avenue, he pounced and jumped on the plow's running board.
Armed with a digital camera, Lopez started snapping photos of the driver in the cab.
"He rolled down the window and I was like, 'Now I got you,'" Lopez said. "He got mad."
They rode that way all the way to Western Avenue. The driver didn't slow down until Lopez pulled out a cell phone and announced he was going to call 911.
Overzealous?
"I'm not just doing this for myself," he said. "The neighbors also are appreciative."
Lopez said the problems with plows started years ago, when the city widened 103rd Street to four lanes and put the road too close to houses up and down the street.
Since then, the blasts from passing plows have broken windows and ripped off gutters at his home as well as neighboring houses. Lopez said he tried filing reimbursement claims with the city, but the paperwork took about eight months to process.
"That was a pain in the neck," he said.
One time, he saw a neighbor get knocked down from a snow swell brought on by a speeding plow.
Two years ago, Lopez tuckpointed the side of his house because the salt ate away the mortar between the bricks.
Lopez said he complained to the city's streets and sanitation department. He called the office of Ald. Virginia Rugai (19th).
The results, he said, were spotty.
"She can't be out there holding their hands while they are driving," Lopez said. "The foremen can only tell their guys to slow down. They can't be out there with them 24/7."
The signs, he said, are a last resort.
"I've been told I think out of the box," Lopez said. "I think big."
Now the rest of Mount Greenwood can see that for themselves.
