Could this be a repeat of the wartime practice of removing the road signs to foil the invaders? Is London under imminent threat? Or perhaps it’s just a clever marketing ploy to boost the sales of GPS systems. no it is a wartime museum display can you gues where.

Hello Sue,
Your creations are wonderful and detail, those are unique. Your creativity is as one sees unerschöpfbar. It pleases me much. Love of greetings from Freising.

Hi Sue
Very orgional photo
Good comp.
Gr Jos

An original picture and one which is really eye catching - superb use of the light to keep the blacks dark and the wood light.

My guess for the museum would be Harrogate - purely on the assumption that the signs do depict real distances (plus its in North Yorkshire!).

Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hello, Sue.

You rotten tease! You've had me "Googling" for at least half an hour - is it "Eden Camp"? Reminds me of the Sunday Times "Where am I" competitions I used to do all the time!

Anyway, I'm probably wrong, though I did think it fitted in with the mileages from York and Scarborough. In any case, this is a fine picture, very sharp and clear with nice shadows cast across the wooden signs.

And a fine, though frustrating, note to go with it!

Best Wishes,

John.

realy like this shot SUE very unusuall comp well done tfs

bryan

Haha, nice capture! Good lighting and detail, nice tight framing on the clutter of signs.

If I have half an hour spare I might try using Google Earth to figure it out. ;)

Lovely capture of the signs, very eyecatching.. pity I didnt see it when I was there.... I would say its um err.. 17 miles from York.. hehe.

Good one.

Cheers
Dawn.

Hi Sue - Great photo and question! I'm going for 'eden camp' as well...but only because you left a big clue, and I didn;t use google :-)

Unsure how to critique this other than it's well done and shows good imagination. Interesting shot!

Hello Sue


You are right, signs of the times
before these era the pieces that us if
it located of a place for other,
Today they are GPS, that probably in a distant future,
you will be making the same thing with GPS.
showing us them in a museum!
Great shot

Congratulations!
