signs

December 5, 2012 By Kristin Zecchinelli

“Life is one big road with lost of signs.” – Bob Marley

Today’s one word prompt is sign. For fun I did a little experiment and went to my photo stream on Flickr and did a search for “sign”.  I was actually surprised by how many signs I have photographed through the last few years. Many of them really speak of where I live.  I might not have to give you an exact location at all, but  by looking at my photos I bet you could easily put a place to the signs.  I like that, how the signs around me speak of “home” and place.  My place in this big world. My signs mostly wooden & weathered by time and the sea. 

What “signs” do you see?

Share a sign with us all today.

Don’t forget our new one word hashtag #ssdecember.

    Thanks to fellow photographers I have become more aware of signs and words, placed just in the right place. My town has a few just now in the shops of windows.

    This is one of my favorites, found in Cape Breton a few years ago, and perfect for this time of year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ktbuffy/2998106280/

    And another cool one from the same trip: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ktbuffy/2998103004/

    I was in Galveston this weekend and there were lots of neat signs, my favorite was the slow bell sign beside the ferry.

    Funny, I have a flickr set full of some of my favorite signs, with that very quote from Bob, even:
