From time to time during my travels, I come across signs that I find interesting for one reason or another. Sometimes, they contain clever writing, are humorous, or remind me of some place or event. Here are some from a trip to Munich, Germany, in December 2017, and elsewhere.

 Banner from the Munich Summer Olympic Games Stadium.
|
| |
 Across the road from the Olympic Stadium was BMW Welt, BMW's "futuristic distribution center and exhibition hall." As they now own the Rolls Royce brand, I stopped by to check out the latest models.
|
| |
 In 2016, the city of Munich launched BeeZero, the first hydrogen-powered car sharing program.
|
| |
 I found it interesting to see the kangaroo with joey in her pouch.
|
| |
 A gay pride symbol. (A family of lions is called a pride.)
|
| |
 "Work shall set you free."
Sign at the entrance of the Dachau concentration camp. |
| |
 Yes, "Smoking is deadly," and you see signs like this all around Europe, but the countries still sell cigarettes and people still smoke them!
|
| |
 Perhaps it's the German branch of the Italian "O Sole Mio" chain.
|
| |
 Purveyors of "fair, organic, and vegan fashion."
|
| |
 "We have to stay outside."
Some shops provide a place outside their entrance to tie up a dog's leash. Some also provide water dishes. |
| |
 At the entrance of the unacompanied-minors' lounge at Munich Airport.
|
| |
 An interesting depiction of the US flag on a poster at Munich Airport, by Ogilvy, "one of Germany's most successful creative agencies in the field of marketing and communication."
|
| |
 A backstreet in Whitby, Yorkshire, a town where I spent four delightful nights.
|
| |
 Where refined Whitby residents walk.
|
| |
 Tiles on the front of a house, also from Whitby. In all my many trips to the UK, I have yet to eat a kipper, for breakfast or at any othertime.
|
| |
 A clever take on the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." See pitcher.
A pottery exhibit at a small gallery in Winchester, Virginia, USA. |
