Distinctive Signs - A New Tag

This is the start of #distinctivesigns - initiated by @brightongreg.

This photo of a sign on a city tour boat in Shanghai is typical of what I am looking for - so here are the rules:

Not a contest, no prizes, just a fun challenge!

Your own photos, taken indoors or out, colour or black and white.

No cute photos of your own or friends' home-made signs - they have to be real signs you've discovered on your travels or around where you live.

They need to be humorous, or tell some sort of story. If you need to, explain why you shot the photo, but if you actually have to explain maybe they aren't humorous or don't tell a story - so think twice before writing! The shot should stand on its own if possible.

And it pains me to say this, but no need for photo geek technical stuff - unless it adds to the humour (e.g. 'took this standing on my head, including changing filters halfway through the shoot').

Include a link to this post in yours so that everyone knows the rules. And obviously start the title with Distinctive Signs -, and use the 'hashtag - initiated by' line at the end.

Thanks to #distinctivedoors by @tattoodjay and #distinctivewindows by @melinda010100 for inspiring me to become distinctive too! And to @rebeccaryan for bringing me to steem!

Have fun!

Most happy to... I see trees out my window... lol :))

hmm, They need to be humorous... so not for me than... 😉

Oh come on - just one? Or they could be informative... in a slightly humorous way. Please please...

Brilliant, Love it,

Will be on the lookout for any fun signs :)

I suspect there are lots in NYC - in Milford, not so much!

Forgot to mention how I came up with the idea! Went on an errand around noon, using a bypass taking me under the rail lines thus avoiding the constant jams in town. At the top of the bypass, where it joins the main highway, there's a sign 'Be Aware. Snowplow turnaround area.' I immediately thought of sending this to 'winter is coming' @tattoodjay, decided not to, but then started thinking about signs. So here we are!

So cool how you came up with it

'Cool'? Here we go again...

I am really warming to the idea of this new tag I foresee it becoming hot

Again, too funny...

Good idea! Looking forward to lots of humorous posts...

Thanks for feedback - are you just reading them, or posting them too! Following.

I think I will be posting some soon...
