Make America boring again

Someone put up this sticker along Kensington Road in Calgary, back in the spring. Whoever it is, they didn’t get their wish.

This little mural was spotted in Brighton, England, on my visit there back in May 2018.

No relief here!

Very unsubtle message for dogs … if only they could read! Spotted in Phoenix, Arizona, last month.

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

We recently went through a round of safety training at work, so the additions to this sign brought a smile to my face. Another snapshot from my visit to San Francisco last month.

Big reward

I’m not sure this dog will ever be found … This poster was seen along the Embarcadero in San Francisco last month.

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

So, no shenanigans … but the sanction against such behaviour might not be altogether unpleasant for some people. Spotted in the Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood in San Francisco earlier this month.

Because the names of foreign snack foods can be amusing. Saw this in a vending machine at the Osnabrück train station in Germany, while I was on my way to Hamburg this past summer. (Unfortunately, I did not try this.)

Not as dangerous as it looks

Is this a brave soul or a foolish adventurer trying to free-climb the Kulturhuset in Stockholm? Neither: She’s a mannequin.
