There is something about this sign that is not quite PC, nevertheless it may have some historically correct precedent (reconstructed western mining boom-town)

Toronto is an amazingly diverse city, full of these little nationality clubs.

I love that "Do Not Enter" sign waaay out there.

And today as well! I took that photo about a week ago - today, I couldn't even get close to that spot. It's probably 2 or 3 feet underwater now, with more rain in the forecast.

While in Germany, I did spend some time and effort attempting to figure out some of the pictographic signs that were scattered hither and yon. Some we were able to figure out, some not, like this one.

I never bothered to look it up because I prefer to think it's a reference to this:

I hate to spoil your fun but it's an emergency and/or evacuation gathering point.

Ah the mysterious people and arrows now make perfect sense! The admirable sign in the first photo is in the window of a local dry cleaner--all praise to them. The second and third are thrown in for good measure. All taken with the Q7 and 01.

Not exactly, since the sheds are floating, too
