Some things you just need to accept ............ ;-))

I may not want to smoke but please let me walk on the earth ! after all Arlo can do the smoking :-)

What a meeting !

Great finds!

Very funny!

You cannot discuss with signs... and that's why they set them there!
But can we imagine a world without them?

On fait quoi alors :) Excellent. Bonne journée.

I think the investigative journalist in you needs to dig the dirt on that one Ronnie

There are signs difficult to accept. :)

It is common to give part of the idea implied and sometimes it generates reasonable doubt.

well , that's so needed to explane of this subj , but i be glad to see your picture ;)

I agree with Ana Lucia !

I find it disturbing that the soil sign is funded by the lottery. You might want to "dig" into that. Maybe the idea is they want you to run or jog istead of walk - better for your health?
Better ask Arlo about Lilly's contradictory sign - he is the expert on smoking after all.

Toujours et partout des interdits ....
C'est ainsi !.... :)))))))

...and they do this without any Photoshop? How amazing!

I worked for a fancy gallery that had a lovely lawn and a sign said, Keep off Lawn. I sneered every day I went to work, and kicked off my shoes sometimes and walked on it. It's just getting so ridiculous and insane. But Ronnie and Lilly hold the balance and keep it hilarious. :D

And the sign said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
huh , me workin' for you."

Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

And the sign said,
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face,
'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

These lyrics immedicate came to mind Ronnie! ;-)

Did they mean, please don't soil on our walk??

Oh my, totally utterly stupid but interesting!:-) You two will soon have enough pics to publish a book on the most peculiar signs!

No mention of fines though. I was in a national park a few days ago where the fine for stepping off the trail is $50.

Ha, ha, ha ! Please don't smoke on our soil !? Very inspired, again !

so weiird those signs, great that you can find them. :-)

encore une superbe compo quels paneaux et vue splendide compo.
amitié

Great finds, their soil, they might have difficulty proving that

Ronnie world is full of contradictions. A man thinks he is the smartest .. ;)

I don't agree with Lilly because lots of signs do not actually offer any explanation... (any?) But in my opinion, there are signs... and signs... Couldn't the people on this project from Lottery Fund have wasted a little more in their sign???? What a project that could be?? ;-)

Maybe you can walk on the soil as long as you're not barefoot? :-) Odd that a footprint is used rather than a shoe print. Or was this on a beach?

yet another example - and a brilliant one! - of signs, signs, signs telling us what to do and not to do ... ;-)

I find the one at the left really perplexing. It seems that they don't want to contaminate with pure air the smoking area (which has some logic in second thought).

Too many don't's in the world . Need some OK to walk on the grass.

There are still too many forbidden, it may say stop. A slogan in May 1968 in France said. "It is forbidden to forbid".
Have a good evening.

Maybe it is a levitation camp and they all float around! That is quite an interesting sign. There are just too many signs everywhere.

Excellent idea :) you should see some of the signs here in Mexico...

it sure is a contradiction...it makes me wonder how one goes about that :-))

Too many signs - everywhere ! These are over the top !!

I'm sure you two will pick up your butts and dig up all the dirt on the reasons for those signs of the times.

Good dialog - which side of the sign can you smoke on? Is it okay to walk if you have shoes on? A thoughtful pair of photos and comments.

No problems, I'll light up my Marlborough right in the middle of the flower bed wearing my Doc Martens, there's no visible soil there, I've obeyed all the rules, everyone's happy

Important signs.

excellent work

I've read about this new lottery-funded soil, it is apparently very fragile.

No walking !! That's it ! I can drive through with a pipe!!!

Maybe a bit of photographic slithering would be ok here ... I will ask Doug!

Perhaps "Do not walk on the grass" went unheeded, so they had to change it to "soil"?

Interesting composition :)

Très bien vu!!! j'aime ton humour!

Great found, funny sign...:-)

Great capture of these signs !

Ah, a command to levitate at least 20 feet from the entrance!

Nicely done, fantastic result.

Ronnie always surprises with their photographs, it is a pleasure for me to sit and smile, thanks buddy

It seems Lilly is one of those people, like me, who wants to know the "why" behind the statement. Keep it up, Lilly. :-)

rules, rules, rules, why? thank you for your visits and kind comments!

Very funny:-)
of any problems created problems ....
can you understand that? I do not!
'm Always amazed about the rules .....
about contradict spoken,)

You really know how to put things together. I like the humour.

I'm waiting now for Don't look at this - but too late ! And I'll walk in because i'm a nasty gal (yet I don't smoke ;)

:) very nice!
Amazing!
.
Thank you so much for your feeling, attention and kindness!

Well seen and done!!!

A good find

There are signs difficult to accept. Ana Lucia!
I agree!
A hug, Adela

Yes many banned eventually

yes but walking on the hands is allowed !

Some signs definitely defeat the reason why they even exist :)

World is full of negative signs...

Have a nice week R & L
:-))

Prohibitions sometimes contradict themselves and we get confused there! But in this special case Véronique find a good solution. :-))

we all live on signs??

visible and invisible? ;-))

yours are very visible and clear! :-))

Superbly noticed and I to think we have far too many.

That song ... Signs , signs , everywhere is signs ....

Our TV is now showing a series of Ikea ads, where parents say to their kids things like "Don't play with food!" or "Don't hunch at the table!", but the children breach that rules by asking "Can we play a match then?" or "Can we hunch under the table?" and everybody ends up making free throws into the basket with apples and cucumbers, or hunching to attend a doll tea party under the table (and everybody is happy, because they're having fun at their ikea-furnished houses). I also recall my primary school times (however vaguely), when a colleague had to urgently go to pee, so he asked "Can I leave the room?" - but the teacher said "No! You cannot walk out of this room now!" Since he really really had to go, the boy asked again, this time saying "Could I crawl out instead?" and since the teacher went speechless, he did.

Maybe that's the way to go around such prohibitions. No smoking within 20 ft of the entrance? How about 15 ft? Or 10?

This is just wierd
