Oxymoron

An oxymoron is a self-contradictory statement... This is a photographic oxymoron - this picture should not exist :D

High speed cable car

This one is not too common. Spotted on the cable car in Hong Kong.... I liked the icon they use to show the "speed"

Painful

a special sign just to warn people to be careful and to take preventive measures to avoid back pain.

a few signs

seen in an open air shopping mall... classical symbols.... with one difference: the cross should be red on a white background, here it looks like the swiss flag.... and the sign for kids games is also new to me...

Combination

Here an interesting combination of symbols, seen in a resort in Turkey...
Same directions to get to the photographer, the night clujb, the circus and the massage room ;-)

Strange sign

A slightly strange sign according to european norms. This one has been spotted in Mysuru, Karnataka, India. It means: no left turn, you have to stay on this road, while our interpretation could be: you are not allowed to either go ahead or turn left (which is impossible here, since there is no way to go to the right)

Bengaluru

Seen in the new Bengaluru International airport in India. The airport itself is just wonderful and state of the art.... a bit surprising in a chaotic country like India. Only small detail here, in a sea of perfection, the typo in one of the names (restro-bar).

Smoking zone

I love the instructions here... pretty difficult to comply with a large group of people

Smoking

Asia, originally uploaded by gugs.

strange world where smoking is prohibited... there is a park in Hong Kong where smoking is allowed, almost encouraged...

self explanatory but at the entrance of a museum building, why not forbid the other stuff (hamburgers, drinks etc...)
