Signs of Life
Over the years I have been amused by the small cameos
of local cultures embedded in many types of road signs. Unfortunately many
of these signs are being replaced by stylised "international" signs with
very little character. It may be too late but I have recently started to
collect photos of old-style "Children Crossing" signs (and will welcome
others).
Do you think the signs match your prejudices or
expectations? Some, such as the first one shown, just drip
with drama? And my favourite has to be the air of insouciance in the (homemade)
one found on a small backroad in Sweden.
