weekly photo challenge : the sign says

Our local radio d.j.s must have that phrase in their heads. Can you tell the sort of stations that I listen to, when I hear “Signs” by the Five Man Electric Band – EVERY DAY? As if I didn’t know all the words! I took a look through my photos and here are a few of my favorite signs. The first sign needs no lettering to tell everyone what is for sale within the shop – it speaks a universal language. The second photo relies partly on its graphic quality to sell dogs in a Seattle tourist area. I like 3 dimensional signs.

I love this next sign, but possibly because I’m intrigued with a shop that only sells tripe! This was in a market in Florence, Italy I think.

Here’s a sign with graphics for everyone. I spotted this at a construction site in San Gimignano, Italy.  I like doing my interpretation of the picture graphics, like the first one that probably means “No Climbing like Spiderman”.

The sign on this bus is colorful and cheery, and the repetition of the style from city to city makes the bus easy to find.

This last sign was in a cherry orchard near Penticton, B.C. A sign doesn’t need to be fancy to get the message across.
