Hehe that one definitely brings a grin

Here's mine, of a signpost for one of the many country walks hereabouts.

I took this earlier this year when going for a walk in the woods. Luckily I saw no wolf!

According to the Norfolk Village Signs website (which will not let me link or copy) the sign erected by King George V in 1912 depicts the legend of the futility of trying to appease evil. The warrior God Tyr's hand was bitten off, despite an unbreakable chain being made by a magician.

I posted this earlier this year, but it's one of my favorites, so I'm putting it up again. Besides, it's the only sign post that I can think of that I have and some newer members may have not seen it.

This is posted smack dab in the middle of a cemetary in Biloxi, Mississippi.

This is on my street. The low hanging tree branch means trucks have to go around the block. The neighborhood would have a fit if the branches were to be trimmed back.

Great pictures, everyone!

This sign is at Raven Rock Park, in North Carolina. I must say it scared me when I read what it says there But the park is very nice and my boyfriend and I had a great time walking around it.

Oh, I love that one!

This sounded like it might be an interesting country road to explore...

Great signs!! I like the cat X
And so nice to see that instead of cutting the tree, that they mark it!

This one is self explanatory.

This is at the junction of Neasden Lane and the North Circular in Neasden where I have to pass at least once a week (including today).

I often think our photos are extreme opposites, SatG!

I took my son to White Cliffs today for a school day so ihad lots of time to wander about. There are lots of open mine shafts dotted all about. This is just a mine field but there are two hills in the town that people do live in the actual dugouts.

What fascinating and amusing images
Here's another from Oz, taken while I was hiking or should I say 'bushwalking' in the Stirling Range in Western Australia a few years ago.
Aussies it seems, get straight to the point with their signs, but I knew where I was so ignored this one

Thanks ClaraSue. I considered doing a little photoshopping on this one so the sign read "Sunset Blvd" but wasn't sure if doctoring is allowed. So the sign says whatever anyone wants it to!

I thought this sign on a shop in Dublin was amusing ...
