This week is SIGNS. Next week is DOORS.

SIGNS=
My favorite sign in Australia, taken near Uluru.



This is my least favorite sign in Aussie land. How I ever managed to get into the Great Barrier Reef of my own free will, I'll never know. I did get stung by a jellie, but not the deadly box jellyfish, nor the blue bottle jellyfish.




This is a sign that cracked me up in Ireland. Did people really mistake the waterway for a road?

I love Australia, I've lived there twice, wish I was still there:)

And maybe in Ireland after a few Guiness at the corner pub some people need a reminder they can't drive in the water:)

These are good signs. Was just surprised with the last.
My Photo Hunt is up too.

Nice collection :)

I'm in!

That last one is too funny! Where I lived as a kid they decided to dam up the river and make a huge lake... they just left all the roads that were there. So there were instant boat ramps. But I hope they told all the old timers first.

Those were so cool! I found one liike that with the car and the cliff but in France.

Love the pictures!! My daughters just got stung by a jellyfish this week...bad things! Love the sign in Ireland!!! LOL

Happy Saturday, mine is up!

Those are great. I would be tempted to steal the one with the kangaroo -- it's cute.

MaR said...

I guess some drivers have to be reminded that there is water along the road, lol, because we have some of those signs too! Happy saturday!!

I failed to notice the jellyfish warning sign while hubby and I were swimming 10 years ago that's why I ended up being stung by one. It made my leg swell. I had to be brought to the clinic of the hotel for steroid shots.

That's why, from then on I have been very careful about reading signages.

My photo is up too.

Great photos! Take care. Dani

Oh we have tons of jellyfish here too! And I'm not sure I understand all of the people going into the waters during this time of year...especially during mating season when they're more vicious. LOLOL

Love the Irish sign.

My Saturday Photo is posted.

I like the "roo and you" sign best :))

Have a great weekend!

Mine's up!

Good sign shots, Carmen. I have one from Ireland up too.

Have a good weekend!

Melli said...

LOL! I LOVE the kangaroo crossing! You definately have some very clever signs!

Anonymous said...

Did any kangaroos actually cross the road?

Those are great signs!!! Especially the one from Ireland.

The second makes me cringe and is the reason I hate swimming in the ocean. I've seen too many of these types of signs and now that's all I think of when we go to the beach.

The third one made me laugh. I feel about saying that but it's almost cartoon-ish.

Enjoy the weekend!

Great choices...
Mine's up.

These are awesome signs! As for the last one, maybe sometimes the edge of the cliff arrives a little sooner than expected? Although, if you missed that, you probably wouldn't notice the sign, either.

Caroline said...

Great signs. That last one is the best. But the jellyfish one is really close.

Happy SPF!

Michael said...

These are hilarious signs... I especially like the kangaroo crossing sign!

Those are great signs :). I didn't know that they had seversal jelly fish in Australia...Glad that you didn't get stung by the dealy one.

Philosophical Karen said...

Interesting signs. You are quite a traveller.

Unknown said...

OMG that sign in Ireland... classic!

Maribeth said...

Great pictures. I love your signs!

-tnchick- said...

Very cool signs. That last one is kinda funny... some people! ;) My fave is the first.

Bobealia... said...

Um, I don't understand how to play.
I know this isn't that funny, but whenever I see the sign "Slow Children" I imagine it to be equivalent of "Deaf Child" and I imagine slow moving, slow walking children all over the neighbourhood. I.E. Slow-motion children.
Silly, I know.
I actually like the jellyfish sign. It's quite creative...

Julie said...

Great signs. Love the last one!

Frances D said...

I like all the pics - especially the kangaroo sign.
My own pic is up.
Take care,
Frances

Meira{FB} said...

Are there many cars dropping off?

Great pics!

Here the common sign for animals is a "deer". I'd love to see kangaroos hopping around! The one with the car diving in the water is a hoot! DUUUHHHH!!!! LOL!

I am late, but I finally got my picture up!

after one too many Guinnesses anything is possible, I guess!

ribbiticus said...

good ones! mine's up! ;)

Unknown said...

Great signs! I love the last one. Maybe someone did drive into the water. LOL

Pink Chihuahua Princess said...

These signs are a hoot. I especially like the kangaroo one, because around where I'm from you see the deer sign just like this one all the time.
