another one (see previous post), same principle...

Dog

scotland -28, originally uploaded by gugs.

this is a kind of sign you see a lot in the UK. Maybe a bit too explicit. Never seen often in other countries (there is an example in Hong Kong further in this blog)

no fishing and climbing

Smoking

An interesting combo, don't smoke and don't use matches (are lighters allowed ?)

No food

don't bring food in there, the Belgian version: no fries, no ice cream...

Do not kill the animals

D2X_6818, originally uploaded by gugs.

Seen in an animal park in Belgium. This sign is clear (at least if you speak one of the following languages: French, Dutch or English): don't feed the animals, this will kill them.

No Spitting

a similar sign as in Hong Kong. This one however is less clear to me. I am not sure the pictogram is understood by everybody. Seen in Bangalore, India.

Don't sit here

Singapore Clamp

sgp 2008 10, originally uploaded by gugs.

this is self-explanatory. The fine (release fee) is very reasonable looking at the typical fines in Singapore ($1000 and up). Those are Sing Dollars, approximately half a Euro.

Don't clean

Signs 05, originally uploaded by gugs.

Don't use high pressure cleaning... in fact looking at the vehicle on which this sticker was applied, they seem to never clean it in any way :D

parking in New York

I shot this one in Manhattan in September 2000... I found it particularly funny...

Don't gather flowers

self-explanatory ? those don't really look like flowers, more like candies...

No music

don't bring your radio... seen at the entrance of a nature park in Belgium

Notre-Dame II

Paris-24, originally uploaded by gugs.

second part of the instructions (see previous post). The least followed instruction is no flash photography.... it seems that point&shoot camera users don't have a clue on how to switch off the flash and also do not understand that a flash is just ruining the picture when shooting from a distance...

Notre-Dame I

Paris-25, originally uploaded by gugs.

instructions before you enter Notre-Dame (Cathedral) in Paris. This is just the first part.

No fire

BE7_5172, originally uploaded by gugs.

don't use matches, don't smoke, basically no fire allowed - seen in a nature park in Belgium

feeding animals

BE7_5169, originally uploaded by gugs.

Don't feed the animals - seen in a nature park in Belgium. The nimal in question here looks like a horse...

No picnic

DSC_0895, originally uploaded by gugs.

seen in Belgium... approximate English but the message is still clear....

Gas station

DSC_0900, originally uploaded by gugs.

Seen in a gas station in Belgium: don't start a fire, don't use a mobile phone (never understood why, by the way), stop your engine, under camera surveillance...

Singapore Metro tariffs

DSC_0443, originally uploaded by gugs.

another one from Singapore... here again a question of priorities: the first two are obvious but why is the third one mentioned ? Is the probability that high that people take a gas bottle in the metro that it needs to be explicitly forbidden ???
Also interesting, the tariffs are specified. A Singapore dollar is about half a Euro.
