Schwefelsäure: Vorsicht, stark ätzend! (Schickes Totenkopfsymbol)
Sulphuric Acid: Attention! Corrosive. (Nice skull and crossbones)
These signs are all over the Oregon Coast, at pretty much any access point to a beach or the shore. There are eight ways for you to die while enjoying the beauty that Oregon has to offer. These methods include (but are not limited to...):
Sneaker Waves
Getting Stranded on Rocks
Riptides Sucking You Out To Sea
Collapsing Cliffs
Waves That'll Knock You Off a Jetty
Log Rolling Competitions
Cliff Diving
and, of course
Getting Eaten By a Sand Monster
A £1000 fine for trespassing or those who have a death wish by playing chicken on or near the railway tracks.
Located at the back of York Station, near to the National Railway Museum
A sign in Fermoy, Co. Cork warns motorists to watch out for kids playing on the road.
I've seen so many people speed through built up areas these signs mean absolutely nothing to them.
Technique:
1. Original image was flat and plain. Background sky was monotonous so I ran it through auto-levels which brought out the colours.
2. Then I duplicated that layer and blurred it using Gaussian Blur with a radius of 25px (original image is 3504px wide). By adding a layer mask I was able to rub out some of the blurred layer to expose the sharp original below. Opacity was set to 41% to reduce the blur effect.
3. Finally an overlay layer was added and circular gradients drawn on with a low opacity. This darkens the sky and sign slightly in patches.
All manipulation done in the GIMP but will work just as well in Photoshop or other application.
Was that useful? Want more?
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.
Keep out of the area in front of Gigjökull glacier. Dangerous patches of quicksand and toxic gases may accumulate near the Gigjökull glacier. Watch out for falling ice and sudden floods. Keep to the upper slopes.
Scuse the bad image quality. I loved this.

I think this one is extra funny. DangerMan is always falling off things, but it is rare to see DangerDog at all, much less actually in danger.
Distinctly pre-Worboys cast Parking sign in Criccieth, North Wales. A bit faded now as it is very close to the sea. Note the modern (bilingual) addition forbidding the parking of buses. Taken from the opposite side, therefore not so faded.
The flooding has receded slightly and the top of the depth markers are now just visible. The water is still about 8 feet deep. And yes, an idiot did attempt to drive through the currently non-existent ford .....
An obviously locally design traffic sign warning of children crossing the street in Constanța, Romania. The figures are similar the modern Romanian standard sign, but here it is the girl who leads the boy, as in traditional signs, and she does not carry a bag.
Viewing the only safe road between a town and their market, from the relative safety of a deminer's car. Either side for kilometers around was made inaccessible by minefields. Leuna. Angola.

I usually don't expect a fee for private viewing, projects, school work, charity work, etc. Also if you wanted to use any images as a base for a private artwork or poster, I would love to see the final product (as long as it is legal and doesn't defame anyone).
Although I do need to charge for other professional, corporate or commercial uses, as I also have to make money to live. I can then supply a high resolution finished image which is sized to your needs.

Don't Even Think of Parking Here!
Seen in Port Isaac in Cornwall (UK).
Photography courtesy of my regular photostream contributor David on his travels and is posted here with very kind permission.
Created using a sign generator, as a spoof message from Mr. T. to the current UK Government leaders, David Cameron and Nick Clegg. I think he's a bit concerned about their attitudes.
