http://www.aliasimages.com/images/SpotTheError%20PICT5288.jpg > http://www.aliasimages.com/images/SpotTheError%20PICT5288.jpg For the British, they drive on the wrong side. Also, the first sign allows turning left in double but it's not what is painted on the road and on the second sign. Sue them. Michel > http://www.aliasimages.com/images/SpotTheError%20PICT5288.jpg Looks like the 2 white-on-black signs disagree: closer says middle lane is left & straight, further says middle lane is straight only, which matches the arrows painted on the road. And that's not a dead skunk hanging from the back of the left-most 640 sign is it? Oh wait, I see it now: it's Canada and there's no snow! ;) Willa  Signaturehttp://www.pbase.com/willarojo “I came into this world, not chiefly to make this a good place to live in, but to live in it, be it good or bad.” Thoreau, Civil Disobedience “We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph line from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.” Thoreau, Walden ****** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusional_disorder >> http://www.aliasimages.com/images/SpotTheError%20PICT5288.jpg > > Looks like the 2 white-on-black signs disagree: closer says middle > lane is left & straight, further says middle lane is straight only, > which matches the arrows painted on the road. Yep, everyone saw it... I wonder why the road people don't ... there's another odd bit of signage nearby, I'll keep my camera handy and try to get that one too. > And that's not a dead skunk hanging from the back of the left-most > 640 sign is it? ,,, funny... someone walking quite a bit further back...

Canada is in the Northern Hemisphere, and Toronto and Montreal aren't even near the Pacific, so they both get strong seasonal changes...... > <helensilverb...@hotmail.com> wrote in message > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the Northern Hemisphere, and Toronto and Montreal aren't even near the > Pacific, so they both get strong seasonal changes......

Bill, don't you recognize sarcasm when you see it? > Helen Oh. - It's because I don't follow the thread closely enough....I just see a statement put of context and respond with a jerk-knee reaction........ It's is interesting that the seasonal extremes should be greater in the Southern hemisphere because the earth is closer to the sun during their Summer. Here in the Northern hemisphere, the earth is further from the sun during the Summer. I say, "should be" because I haven't seen any statistics that prove that they really are. > <helensilverb...@hotmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > during the Summer.

That IS interesting indeed. And with global warming things are certainly becoming more strange.

Some odd focus discrepancies, seemingly missing shadows and things like the rightmost traffic lights above the strangely sharp 50 sign (look at the other signs nearby), being in a very odd location, and do you Canadites really need that many advisory signs?? All looks a bit fake to my constantly and often annoyingly skeptical eye. > On Jul 18, 6:27 am, Alan Browne <alan.bro...@FreelunchVideotron.ca> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > many advisory signs??

We need so many signs because in a blizzard you can only discern one sign at a time.

All looks a bit fake to my constantly and often > annoyingly skeptical eye. 135mm lens on a cropped sensor and then cropped further. The only "manipulation" was to USM the image (without critical care). Otherwise known as compression. From the nearst sign to the cyclists is a range of about 300 - 350 meters. From the sign to the lights, over 200m. Having driven in Madrid recently, I assure you that we are sign poor...

That's funny! Quebec is known as a place with NO traffic signs! Just try to find an address sometime - most of the streets don't have posted name signs. I wish I had a nickel for every time I've come up to a street corner to see where I am and there's no sign... it's really bad in Montreal North... The area in that photo is relatively new 'burbs - that explains all the signs... and some towns have more money for them, but I zoomed into that photo and didn't see any name sign... > All looks a bit fake to my constantly and often >annoyingly skeptical eye. All looks normal to me... there is a lot of compression in that image... |
