This was once a Travelodge in Somerset, since abandoned. My sister's wedding reception was here back in 1990.
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.
The wonky sign looks like a cyclist had a bit of a crash. There is plenty of industry in Harlow which is good for jobs, so hence this new hotel which does look pleasant.

The signs just tempt me to further investigate this lovely place!! (i believe you can read them more clearly in the large version!) Like the saying goes "You can't scare me....i teach!" (well, OK, so i USED to teach....but, their loss!)
Summer's here...
i wish all my decrepitude loving flickr friends lived closer or were more inclined to travel to NJ....we could have a helluva time together!!! ;) Any time y'all get a chance, there is plenty of room at Resort Ogden for a stay and an adventure!
This notice near the snakes stand was not reassuring either! It is not clear whether they mean the snakes may get injured or the people who pick them up, but I'm sure they mean the people. (Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, Nov. 2013)
Even a ninja won't survive trying to break into this house. To the recent increase of home invaders- beware!
This is where the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots) trained during World War Two; it's now a museum.

Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, formerly Bizantium, capital of the (Eastern) Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and of the Republic of Turkey, is a huge multicolored city; on the two sides of a small street I have found two very different examples of the traffic sign warning of children crossing. Note that the children are moving to the right. This instance is drawn in a realistic style, with the boy wearning a rather old-fashioned coat.

The St. Mary's coastal path runs past the end of the airport runway where there are signs, flashing lights and a siren to warn of incoming aircraft.

Warning sign ref. The QE2 bridge at Dartford (UK) although this sign is some 25 miles away going in the opposite direction on a fairly minor B road!
Yup, quicksand. "Levensgevaarlijk Terrein / PAS OP DRIJFZAND", and a nice unambiguous stick-man-in-peril drawing.
The Dutch countryside is apparently fraught with peril: this was the third warning sign I'd seen in as many miles. It seems the unwary could easily be electrocuted, crushed or sucked to a sandy demise.
Warning signs in the rocky riverbed approaching the Franz Josef Glacier from the Waiho River, on the west coast of New Zealand's south island. The steep granite walls of this glacial valley are covered in waterfalls and tropical vegetation, just minutes from the ice.
The terminal face of the Franz Josef Glacier is less than 300 meters above sea level and less than 10 miles from the Tasman Sea. It is believed that the glacier extended into the sea some 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. Franz Josef Glacier has been rapidly retreating since 2008, and scientists expect that it will lose 38% of its mass by 2100.
The glacier was named after Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1865.
