I am a bit late with this posting. I have submitted my image for the day and looked through some of the ones from other people. Some quirky, others more personal, but some that made me think “Why didn’t I know/see that?”- like the entrance to Exchange Station. I have just tried to find the one that was submitted but can’t. If anyone finds it please send me a link and I will use that one. But basically it was a photo of pedestrian access to the old Exchange station as per this one here.
My submission for the challenge (read my first posting on the subject here – marfell.me.uk/wordpress/?p=266) was of a fishing permit sign on one of the trees just next to the river in Robert’s Park, Baildon.
Please click on the image to see it on flickr and also see a photo of the same sign taken back in 2002. Another tree nearby has a similar sign and it is also being eaten by the tree.
What surprises me about these signs is how high they are. It was recently explained to me that existing parts of a tree do not grow higher. New growth will appear that is higher than the old, but anything that already exists will stay at that height – so why are these signs so high?
During my quest for signs I came across this rather surprising sign of Spring. I didn’t even know that eggs had been laid and here we already have some goslings in the grounds of The United Reform Church
On the way into work I kept my eyes open for signs and took these. One that needs its lettering redoing
One from several years ago
And some helpful ones and informative ones
But even with all these signs there are some things that will just carry on and walk wherever they like, as this Grey Wagtail was doing, strutting along the cobbles.
