WHAT I LIKE TO DO

In London when you come to a cross-walk on a street there is almost always a message painted on the ground reminding pedestrians to "LOOK RIGHT."  This does not mean that you should look presentable or proper, but rather it means to look to your right side for oncoming traffic in a country where cars drive on the left side of the roadway.

I like taking photos of random signs and words when I'm out and about.  My own tiny bit of contemporary art.  This little section of street was outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square.  Since this area of the website is all about looking, I'm putting this photo here as my "Pic Of The Week."

Enjoy.

Those O letters give me the impression that they are about to peel themselves off the tarmac and walk across the road. In fact, maybe they do so that the people on the other side find out which way they should be staring when it's time to cross?

They need those signs right at the crosswalks over here because no matter what side of the street the cars are on, people drive right thru the red lights and don't give a dam! I might have to suggest that to the River Center in Red Bank. The red light and a clear walk sign just doesn't get it done. Simple, but true...again a few words can mean so much. Maybe a life!
