Signs

Melbourne, Australia

This sign warns against falling of the cliffs. Probably before it was placed a lot of people fell of the cliff.
And no government wants to be sued, that is why they put up all these signs.

A word to the unwise...

It doesn't look like a cliff but I would listen to the sign especially with those high waters.

Good find for the challenge, wonder though, if all people obey this sign.

Clear! Nice fence.

Great find, I like the depiction of instability and falling. We have them here along stretches of coast too, yet people still venture too close.

Unusual sign, great find.

Unstable people on unstable cliffs ~ not a good combination!
Sandra Cooper17-Oct-2010 05:58
Well spotted Mieke.

Before that sign, many a pedestrian never came back alive!

But there is always someone who ignores the sign and then has to be rescued. It is on the news all the time. Great find for our challenge!!!!

With all the vegetation, I can see how that would be possible. The sign on the fence helps but I'm betting folks still proceed past that point. A nice place too, Mieke!
