Travel Photography: Signs

This might not sound like very important photography around your own hometown, sparing the neon orange, a $500 fine notice, or those very important street signs, but when you travel abroad, you occasionally come across a rather interesting sign. One you'd like to remember in a photograph. They can provide a timeline or an interesting theme in themselves. And some of them can even be rather humourous.

Sometimes the most humourous ones are totally accidental or occur due to an odd coincidence or a warped juxtaposition. In Germany, for example, you might see a sign for the restroom that is directly next to the sign for the exit, and the exit sign shows a silhouette of a man running! Rather a humourous position, don't you think?

Of course, signs that are not in your native language can also be interesting, especially if you were to take a large group photograph of them in a place like a Hong Kong neon lighted area, or a European tour with the same words but in different languages.

Finally, the best use for sign photographs is to show the progression of your vacation. Signs that show a dramatic location (Equator, Southernmost point in the Continental U. S.), city and state limits and welcome signs, unusual names of towns, areas or business, and driving distances. Signs that highlight specific locations where you visited such as museums and hotels are also very important to complete your travel photography collection. Of course, historical markers are also very interesting if that is what interests you.
