This one below was funny. I'm not sure if everyone can read it, but I must say its innovative.
So is 'The Box' an American traffic term I don't understand?
For some reason I found this sign that was put next to Central Park rather sweet. I mean, its got a little, red heart and everything.
Hmm, I'm not sure what this meant, it wasn't a poster but a sign that was put up everywhere on this one street I was walking on. Its a rather interesting psychological technique of overcoming fear.
If people were wondering how expensive this shoe shop was...
And finally just another one I shall leave you with. I liked the 'No Money Available' bit below.
I refuse to put up my garbage box collection from NYC because of the sheer amount of interesting bins in the city available for photography. I have a beautiful collection of Times Square images too. As I mentioned before, I was enamoured, all I could keep on doing every time I visited Times Square is take pretty pictures oh which I'm going to post just one. Growing up in a huge city myself makes me rather fond my big cities. I can completely understand why most other people don't like them too much and how terrible they are to live in, but you have to admit, they have their own charm, that is if you like skyscrapers, billboards, movie posters and large crowds.

As I always say, Times Square is the only place in the world which can make advertising look beautiful.
Loving the signs, as usual. Which reminds me: any idea where the fossilized band-aid photo is?
Wonderful collection, as were your previous photographs.
Personally, I would like to see the signs and trash bins in Bombay.
And perhaps TPF has some of Istanbul. Nah.
i think i like american traffic police. no kidding. lol.
Wow Pan. I have never been to NYC. I've traveled the states a bit and went to Germany once but that's it. I would love to go see the Statue of Liberty myself one day.
TPF - I have the fossilized nand-aid. Want me to email it to you? Well I personally love adverts. Remember the Kaka billboards for Armani a few months ago. Harry and I went crazy over them.
Mr. Poop - Signs and trash cans in Bombay? You're being optimistc here, Admiral :D
Eris - I completely agree, at least they have a sense of humour. In Italy, traffic police don't exist.
Nikki - I've been to Germany once. I found it rather..ahem.. antiseptic for my taste, but that's just because I'm used to messy places. Alright, who am I kidding, it was beautiful, just like anywhere else in Europe.
Srtangely enough, the Statue of Liberty is not half as exciting as one would imagine. It's well, smaller than what they show it in pictures, but pretty much the same and you can't even go up anymore.
I liked it how the traffic deparment in NYC gave a new meaning to 'freedom of speech' :)
The 'probably' bit in the sign almost makes you want to go around the shoe shops in town and look for the cheapest possible one just to prove them wrong. :D
