Another one for the How Not To Do It group- how not to follow warning signs. The Stick Figure in the top left hand corner is in a bit of peril.....

For whatever reason, the I-40 overpass was built with only a 14 foot clearance. As a result, warning sensors, signs, lights and a horn are used to stop a truck that cannot clear it before its too late.
This is also the southern terminus of U.S. Route 321 in Tennessee.
WEAR A LIFE JACKET AND SIT THE FUCK DOWN!
This is the stupidest sign I think I've ever seen.
This picture is a Photoshopped version of an actual sign they have at Canoe Beach, near Salmon Arm, BC. The person who can explain it to me earns themself a nickel.
The Cambrian Coast railway line from Machynlleth to Pwllheli bisects the town of Criccieth. Trains run at approximately two-hourly intervals. It has recently been re-signalled on the ERTMS system, meaning that there are no signalling staff anywhere West of Machynlleth. As part of the re-signalling, all the signage surrounding the level crossings has been updated. Being in Wales, all the signs are bilingual, with the Welsh wording coming first. Here are a few of the signs illustrated with the intention of helping any railway modellers to get it right.
A hilarious local variant of the early modern Romanian design of the warning sign "Children", seen in Comarnic, Prahova county.
...shadowy men wearing hats walking amongst families wearing their Sunday finest, among the bungalows in Takoma. I take it this was a vintage sign that got scrubbed, although even its replacement looks '60s. Who knew that sign backings were that valuable?
All I can say about this is that it was scanned from a slide taken in September 1984 - probably somewhere in Yorkshire. Any offers?
The Welsh Highland railway extension to Porthmadog crosses the road on the level at Nantmor. It is an ungated crossing. Here is an illustration of the signage surrounding the crossing provided with the intention of helping any railway modellers to get it right.
Ridiculous Pac-Man air hockey where twenty smaller, bonus pucks are released onto the field periodically.

"It's dangerous to lean outside" warning sign in front of the vintage train wagon window. Better safe than sorry ;)
It's a well organized operation: after buying your ticket, you are assigned a guide, usually a lovely Malaysian lass. You then await your turn, as only one group of tourists is allowed to enter the house at a time. Needless to say, I was the only one in my group, so I had my guide all to myself. She took the waiting time to brief me about the house and the rules of conduct inside. Positively NO photography inside sir, she told me. You can photograph all you want outside, in the gardens etc. This sign at the sight only confirms what she had said. (Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Nov. 2013)
There's a sign you don't see every day, especially in Tennessee where I didn't even realize there were any canals. I'd say it looks more like a ditch. Still, it must be historic as it looks to be built up with stones
Older 1950's-era double arrow sign, usually used in advance of, or at T intersections. I'm tempted to paint the border so it's black again.
No fun allowed!?!
Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport (Mascot Airport, Kingsford Smith Airport, or Sydney Airport;) is an international airport located 8 km (5 mi) south of Sydney city centre, in the suburb of Mascot. It is the primary airport serving Sydney, and is a primary hub for Qantas, as well as a secondary hub for Virgin Australia and Jetstar Airways. Situated next to Botany Bay, the airport has three runways, colloquially known as the east–west, north–south and third runways.
Sydney Airport is both the longest continuously operated commercial airport and oldest commercial international airport in the world, the world's oldest continually operating commercial airport, and the busiest airport in Australia. Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport, sits on northwestern side of Botany Bay. Two runways of the airport extend into the bay.
Botany Bay, an open oceanic embayment, is located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 13 km (8 miles) south of the Sydney central business district.
Botany Bay has its source in the confluence of the Georges River at Taren Point and the Cooks River at Kyeemagh and flows 10 km (6 mi) to the east before meeting its mouth, the Tasman Sea, midpoint between La Perouse and Kurnell.
The total catchment area of the bay is approximately 55 km2 (21 sq mi) and the area surrounding the bay is generally managed by Roads and Maritime Services. Despite its relative shallowness, the bay serves as greater metropolitan Sydney's main cargo seaport, located at Port Botany, with facilities managed by Sydney Ports Corporation.
Botany Bay National Park is located on the northern and southern headlands of the bay.
On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour on the continent of Australia. Later the British planned Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony. Out of these plans came the first European habitation of Australia at Sydney Cove. Even though the penal settlement was almost immediately shifted to Sydney Cove, for some time in Britain transportation to "Botany Bay" was a metonym for transportation to any of the Australian penal settlements.
The first container terminal at Port Botany, to the east of the airport, was completed during the 1970s, and is the largest container terminal in Sydney. A second container terminal was completed during the 1980s and bulk liquid storage facilities are located on the northern and southern edge of the bay. A third container terminal was completed in 2011.
Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airport , sits on northwestern side of Botany Bay. Two runways of the airport extend into the bay.
The western shores of the bay feature popular swimming beaches including Brighton-Le-Sands and Lady Robinsons Beach and is a popular spot for boating and watersports.
Once upon a time, there were no fences. Then people, being generally stupid, would fall off the rather steep cliffs and either severely injure themselves or die. So the Grand River Conservation Authority erected fences along the more dangerous sections of the river in Elora, Ontario. However, people climb the fences and continue to often fall off the cliffs. It's nature's Darwin Award site!
No strollers, no food and drink, no smoking, no photography. These are the kinds of restrictions applicable in the chambers of the Topkapi Palace. I did enter this particular chamber though, hearing someone say something about stuff set in precious stones inside. Apart from a crown and pendants, I was aghast to see swords, daggers and similar 'weapons of violence' set in gold and fully encrusted with precious stones. That was like adding insult to injury to the poor souls getting slaughtered! It appeard that the flamboyant Ottoman sultans wer indeed unnecessarily ostentatious, opulent and wasteful. (Istanbul, Turkey, Nov. 2014)
Found this plastic tag in my garden yesterday. Must of fallen from a cable or satellite line. Washed it off, and hung it on a garden swing to photograph it.
Brings up the whole spectre of straight photography vs. processing and retouching. There is a special joy in getting a photo you like straight from the camera without even cropping. Most of my flower close-ups get retouched for spots and imperfections. Interpretive shots and abstracts, well those are wide open.
I got this exposure and composition just the way I wanted SOOC. Would I heed the warning or mess with it? Well, I just couldn't keep my hands off and spotted it some.
