Well, that’s a surprise. A photo of mine from Flickr has over 400 notes.
Of course, it’s only driven a dozen or so visitors back to the photo’s page (which actually contains a somewhat useful description), and it’s uncredited, but ho hum.

No Entry
There’s a man in London removing the No Entry signs. Or at least, he’s trying to.
He’s put there by Clet Abraham, and he’s all over the place.

Love Trees
In the last few weeks, I’ve noticed more and more of these cropping up in my contact’s Flickr photos:
They’re a modification of London’s standard signs, used to warn double decker drivers that they may want to avoid high branches. (I’ve been on plenty of buses that have run into them, making a disturbing but - usually not actually damaging - impact.)
They first started showing up (with a slightly different sticker design) in March 2010:
It seems they’re produced by an organisation called Climate Rush, and one of the nice things about them is that they’re subtle, and don’t actually stop the signs from performing their usual job. More like this.

WATCH IT WITH YOUR LIFE (by Anna Pickard)
It is a silly sign. I’m glad someone else has a nice photo of it.

Walking Men is a public art installation by Maya Barkai. It wraps construction sites in a giant collage of pedestrian traffic-light icons from around the world.
Good to see one of Berlin’s hatted men there (although he seems to be the wrong colour).
