cycle route would suit ET
cycling in to the sky
go in through the window
i like the whizzyness of the sign. if you've got a jet car, this is how you'd arrive at your flat.
keeping the bollards warm
hug a hoodie bollard here
arrows and a person
some inwards goods aren't finished. and visitors aren't goods at all
main office upstairs
a very long pointy finger
a change in direction
we call this invisible mending, people
two bollards and an arrow
see how they guard the saddened arrow
effluent
he spoke as effluently as the natives
a walk in a wood
we went geocaching yesterday in a wood. we got a bit lost (missed a footpath turning), but found 6/9 and saw some great things. like this weird metal statue (click on the picture to see the word reflected in its globe).
this or that
is this the sign equivalent of showing forth two fingers ?
diversion
invisible mending of the diversion arrow here
tea's up
the arrow's actually pointing up to saint paul's dome (although you can't see the dome as it's too slightly round the corner). and that's not actually where the cafe is.
adds more gravitas to the heavenly cakes
no parking
classic two ended arrow
two way
two way. with arrows. just in case you didn't get it.
caution wet floor
the floor is downwards. in case you weren't aware.
confusing signage
this is a confusing sign
bad use of space
perhaps they need to let the words and arrows breathe
up up line down bus
once you've played on a dance mat you can next walk down the street without involuntary jumping your legs about when you see a sign like this.
is jane lost ?
jane looks like she's lost. can you see the obvious clue about which direction she should go ?
how not to keep a secret
the secret room is this way. just don't tell anyone ok ? (and certainly not santa who has gone off in the wrong direction)
footpath
(thanks to bil (bother in law) kev
bollards are rubbish at hide and seek
as if we needed more evidence of bollards' inabilities to play hide and seek, here's one hiding behind a giant arrow. the arrow is pointing to its feet ! what dreadful hiding.
the NORTH
The NORTH is such a great place. you should go. i went for a few years and thoroughly loved it.
either way
i like this picture. it's kind of soothing.
directions
it's appropriate the angel is in the sky. (these signs have sticky outy writting and the black edges are shadows from a rare appearance by the sun)
fancy bollard trick
i'm really pleased with this picture.
click on it for the big version and admire the arrow work. it's great how it's parallel with the ground, requiring the bollard to be upsway down.
and note the wonky road arrow in the distance pointing in the opposite way.
funkypancake - sometimes it's almost like art.
massive £5 sale
there's some good signs here, but my favourite one if on the right.
someone obviously put the arrows on the wrong way round, and rather than putting it on the other side of the door, they came up with the brilliant idea of putting it upsway down !
i bet they were really pleased with themselves for thinking of that. and so they should be. it's a special kind of logic.
arrow and a triangle
this is like some fancy physics drawing. or a shape finding treasure map. or something else.
opposite arrows
(you need to look at the big version to see this)
no excuses
these pedestrian signs are designed so you can put the blanking plate on the other end of the arrow so it'll point either direction.
you certainly don't need to turn it upsway down.
but i'm glad they did.
mind the step
i like the blurryness of this picture.
blue arrow
there's something very amateur about this use of blue and the poor edge-work of the blue colouring-in. you learn to appreciate decent colouring-in when you have little kids about the house.
night bell this way
it's a long way to the night bell.
