 This, I predict, will bomb due to the absence of a typical road sign.

However, I found the juxtaposition of the only visible part of road signage - the word 'OW' to be [subtley] appropriate to this scene. I've no idea whether the occupants lived or died, so I don't yet know just how sick my sense of humour is.

I imagine that very few people will bother with the association though - and they definitely won't like the grain.

Not much in the way of road signs, but a thought-provoking shot.

Seems like this shot may have been over sharpened in post processing or their is just alot of noise in it.

It looks like that may at one time have been an Alpine Tiger! What a shame. Interesting how the over-sharpening and/or grain really adds an appropriate feel to the image.

I like the use of lines in this picture, little grainy, but good.
