Matt Ashmore Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This is going to be a really difficult one to judge... it was certainly difficult to choose just 3 entries! 1. Child doing a 'peace sign' 2. Large sign on Haeundae Beach at Busan in South Korea (and more peace signs). 3. Roadwork signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokie Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I hadn't realised that about 10% of my portfolio is of signs! Anyway, here are my 3 efforts. An unusual, quirky wooden signpost saying 'Snipe House farm', 'This way. 'That way' and 'the Other Way' The warning sign of an Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar (Deilephila elpenor) Closed shut down ex Woolworth's shop with the sign lettering missing but the former letters casting a shadow spelling Woolworths John. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also surprised that almost 10% of my port has the tag "sign", but these are all recent from New Zealand: Margrain vineyard, Martinborough Ōtaki village's brand new pump ladder appliance on a shout This one has a contemporary political resonance which may be appreciated more (in England at least, and this time I don't mean the UK) if I reveal that it was taken in Wellington on 13th December last, shortly after we found out the UK general election result.
