Doggies in the window (and outside)

A post about dogs.

And signs.  This is from Germany.  There is a path for walkers and bicycles.  Skaters are allowed. Dogs have to be on a leash in the entire area.

18 05 d (640x480)

This notice is educational:  As this was mounted at a pasture, there is an explanation that cows, cattle (is there a difference?), horses, sheep, and similar animals can become very ill due to dog excrements.

No dog toilet here.  The yellow sign concerns general rubbish dumping.  It is stated that reasonable people will not dump rubbish here.  Unreasonable people are not allowed to do so.

No fouling

This sign is from near Bamburgh Castle in the UK.  A fine and the proper law is quoted to quell any discussions.

Either the sign is older or Sunderland (less than 100 km to the South) is cheaper concerning fines.

18 05 g (640x480)

In Hockley Heath near Birmingham they show people what to do.

18 05 b (480x640)

And it is even more accommodating if bags are provided.

This is for Cee’s Oddball Challenge.

 

Two of a kind?

Reading names of towns with a foreign language in mind can be quite fun.  I am NOT going to show you the town sign of the famous town in Austria beginning with F (only because I’ve never been there).  But I hear that to get there you have to go to Kissing and Petting in Germany first before your cross the border and arrive in F.

My town signs are not quite as rude.  But I’ve always wondered whether this town in Brandenburg, Germany:

should be twinned with this one in the Alsace region of France:

This is for A Photo a Week Challenge. Nancy was asking for signs.

 

 

It’s a dangerous world out there

Beware! Dangers abound.  So do warnings.

Sometimes the warnings are very wordy:

04 danger 1

Danger of lightning, of rabies, of swimming, of plummeting down a ravine, or simply of a gate.

Sometimes pictograms seem enough:

04 danger 2

No jumping (deadly peril!), no slipping, no driving into trees.  And beware of sudden drops, strong currents, submerged rocks, deep water, large waves, giant frogs, and elderly people!

But the biggest danger of them all:

danger 01

Beware of children!

Starting off with some old rusty signs – I found them in Brandenburg, about 100 kms from Berlin.

05

The things drivers have to watch out for!  Don’t disturb frogs and don’t squash elderly people, or vice versa.

02

I think in this case I like the German town better than the French one although the car number plate is from the town of “Babe”.  Go figure.

03

This two signs were just … well strange. The one on the left reads in Palatian dialect: “There, look upwards!” I remember that it pointed to a piece of wooden art in the branches of a tree. And the one on the right is one in a series of signs that mark a path – but I have no idea what the creature is supposed to signify.

07

The same message in two different countries.

04

And finally, these are the two happiest signs in my collection.  Playgrounds.  For adults and even for kids.  The sign in German reads: “Playing  welcome! Laughing and romping around by children and adults is allowed! The director.”
