I have just tried to find the one that was submitted but can&#8217;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 <a title=\"Exchange\" href=\"http:\/\/www.geograph.org.uk\/photo\/2098000\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My submission for the challenge (read my first posting on the subject here &#8211; <a title=\"The start\" href=\"http:\/\/www.marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/?p=266\" target=\"_blank\">marfell.me.uk\/wordpress\/?p=266<\/a>) was of a fishing permit sign on one of the trees just next to the river in Robert&#8217;s Park, Baildon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pmarfell\/6940984474\/in\/photostream\/lightbox\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Fishing sign\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7280\/6940984474_efb8bc7e99_d.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing sign\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please click on the image to see it on flickr and also see a photo of the same sign taken back in 2002.

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 &#8211; so why are these signs so high?<\/p>\n<p>During my quest for signs I came across this rather surprising sign of Spring. I didn&#8217;t even know that eggs had been laid and here we already have some goslings in the grounds of The United Reform Church<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pmarfell\/6942024092\/in\/photostream\/lightbox\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Goslings\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5322\/6942024092_d18a67747b_d.jpg\" alt=\"Goslings\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On the way into work I kept my eyes open for signs and took these.
