Caution Man Raising Umbrella

[Summicron]

Not a hundred yards from where I photographed Red Veil, this is where the bus stops near home, desperate for a bit of colour in my life I found this barrier and sign on the pavement adjacent to the bus shelter You'd have to be up against the roof to get any shelter from this thing, must show it you sometime, that's why he's putting his umbrella up. Actually resurfacing the roads on the estate, what for when they were already OK, and yet most of the roads in town are falling apart. You've heard of born again Christian's? Well we've got born again bureaucrat's running this town, still a find like this does help when mobilitys impaired.

Interesting sign......

You are a patient man waiting around like that.  Not sure John could handle it!  Mind you here in North Ontario most people have at least one car many have two or three.  So waiting for buses is not as popular as in the city.  The closest bus comes about twice a day, at inappropriate times and is about 15KM's away.  So we absolutely do need a car.

I do admire your unique eye though!

There's no bus service at all in our town.   

Nice demonstration of road construction conditions.

Jeanne didn't you know there are only 2 seasons?  Winter and Construction!!!!

[Jeanne Lee]

You're right, Judy.  I did forget that.  And into that construction situation add tons more traffic from tourists and you know how things are around here during June, July and August.

[JudyB]

Ant the tourists come north to get away from the heat only to suffocate up here too.  I am not complaining....I love the heat!

How is it in England Michael?

My all-time favorite warning sign:

[Jeanne Lee]

Barbarian, that warning sign is a hoot!  It really tells a story, doesn't it?   

[Summicron]

Pity there aren't two hands entering the sign on the left, and that aligator looks like he's just made one big mistake he's going to regret for a long while. Mind you with an incline that steep there should be a second sign showing a pedestrian leaping out of the way of a wheelchair.

That might be a good ride in a wheelchair until you get to the bottom and have to make that turn!
