Another image from the Pentax 645 11n, this time using Kodak Ektar film which is 7 years out of date. I read somewhere that you should allow a stop of extra exposure for every decade of outdatedness (is that a word?), so I set the film speed at ISO 50. As I was not expecting too much, I wasn't too fussy about the subject matter but I do like this one which is the road down to the ferry at Glenelg. The scans looked a bit dull but it was quite easy to get them to look acceptable.
Sign in the Center for Public Finance & Taxes in Grasse, France, where I went with questions about a tax form we received. Among other things, it says that threatening the staff is an "outrage" punishable by a 7,500 euro fine. I asked if the nice lady trying to help me (who at times seemed as confused by the lengthy form as I was) had been abused. She said "Yes, from time to time." I shook my head. She gave me a wistful smile.
I made this for anyone who tends to lose followers on their blogs because of their tendency to use the words "vagina" or "boobies" more than others think is appropriate. As far as I'm concerned, vagina and boobies are *always* appropriate, but then again, I guess I *do* like vagina and boobies in general more than most other girls. >;P
Message on the sign intrigues me, it might be a road that goes on forever. Maybe a road once on it you realize that you should have ignored your curiosity. If I only had more time and not bingo on gas h'mmm.
Look out children, ballhat bird doesn't want you going in there!
Funny, it seems that having this type of sign on a plain metal box might be just the thing to get kids intrigued.

Does the sign exist to warn unsuspecting motorists, or as good business advice to prospective criminals?
Danger! Danger! High voltage

I was up in the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Lab at work when I spotted this.
Electric Six are not a band I follow but I am familiar this lyric and thought I'd make the most of serendipity!
An ironic juxtaposition of signage. Just like the knives were out for Caesar during the Ides of March, the knives are out for Journey Beyond Rail's Overland train. The 133yo Overland train service between Adelaide and Melbourne is likely to close at the end of March 2020: a victim of government indifference, cheap airfares and the coronavirus. The logo on one of the passenger cars has been captured with the "Beware" part of the "Beware the Gap" as an ominous warning of an probable end.
Two obnoxious habits I detest and in particular the second one by a long way.

The Dixie Highway was planned out in December 1914 to connect the Midwest with the South, from Chicago to Miami.
By the mid-1920s, the project was largely completed with a network of roads interconnected across 10 states with more than 5,000 miles of paved, bricked road. But, by 1927, Dixie Highway became part of the US Route System, and was therefore, mostly abandoned. But, a portion of it still remains in remote Florida, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2005.
“It’s one of the oldest roads in America,” according to the historian.
Upon on my arrival, I started from south toward north, before I entered, there is a warning: “Travel at your own risk.” And another prohibiting the removal of the bricks in the road. Doing so, it says, warrants prosecution “to the fullest extent of the law.”
The historic stretch of Old Dixie Highway is 10 miles long, and would recommend to drive slowly as there are some thick soft-sand on the road that could cause slide off from the road if driving too fast.
Interesting fact: The brick was manufactured by the Graves Shale Brick Company in Birmingham, Alabama, belonging to a slave-owning man who fought for the Confederacy. It took 237,600 such bricks to build just 1 mile of road, 9 feet wide. Others are with the words "SOUTHERN CLAY MFG CO” for the Southern Clay Manufacturing Company in Tennessee.

I'm crossing my fingers this image is minimal enough! I had
a fun learning experience cropping away the background!
