I found this at the coffee shop I frequent...


Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 (and yes, this one is oversharpened, my vad).
 
Signs are good subjects. They stay still for you, will wait for the right lighting, and don't get upset when you take their photograph.
 
I assume this is a local fixit shop for pimps to stay in business

M3 50 mm summar uncoated.... I love the " Parking in the rear part"
 
There was this one sign on a restaurant window in Dresden, which really surprised me. it read: "Wenn die Sonne fröhlich lacht, wählt die blende nummer 8" or something like that. Which, poetically translated means: " when the sun is shining straight, choose the f-stop number 8"

I DID take a picture of it with my newly acquired Fed2, but back then i didnt know that a collapsible lens has to be "locked in" and the photo came out completely out of focus. DAMN IT!
 
A fun theme, Rick. I enjoy collecting signs -- here are a few:

1. Ice Unsafe
2. Reserved for President
3. Police Vehicles Only
4. Unit for Lease

I never saw this sign anywhere else...

Actually it looks like the sign is saying it's OK to piss here, otherwise it would have the diagonal slash through it. Too funny!
 
"Please leave valuable items in your end." Is that right? LOL! Hey, my French is rusty. :)
 
DMR: my French ain't great either, but here's my rough translation:

"Attention: risk of theft -- (kindly) leave things of value in (literally in) your ::ehem:: derriere ::ehem:: Thanks" ;)
 
Err.. could not resist this shot when out walking last Autumn. An odd walk to a small place near Bibury in the West of the UK.

You give them too much credit, you've actually made it a sentence; I've seen a number of the same nonsentences in stores around here (where I live). Marketing ploy? Me not know.
