Hi folks, I would like to invite you to show pictures taken on the streets with all kinds of signals, markings, paintings, stripes, circles, curves, crossings, corners, etc. We walk every day through them... let us see them closely...

[Horacio]

This is an example.

I need to find a disc which contains signs etc - so as Arnie says 'I'll be back'.

I could do with one of those for outside our house. :(

I am sick of people letting their dogs do their stuff outside our house even though they do bag it up. It's almost always just as we are eating breakfast and lunch.:mad:

I think they only just qualify for this Series on Road Signs Pedar, but they are a stunning set.

I keep going through each one and I don't really have a favourite. They are very good.

[Horacio]

Extraordinary pictures Pewidane. I like them very much!!! The last one is a very interesting collage??? I like most the second one, that with the white stripes...Regards, Horacio

Hi and thanks.

Anne and I just enjoy the buzz and vibrancy of London. I hope you had a similar experience. The shot below is another taken from high up at the same location as the previous one.

This one matches the theme more. [Late evening Euston Road - London]

I have one or two more from our recent Antwerp trip. When I have time to process them I'll be pleased to add them.
