Even now and then when running errands, commuting to work, or going out to meet friends, I take my camera with me. I then walk around whatever suburb I happen to be in, taking photos of whatever catches my eye. Over the last few weeks that’s been a brick recycling place and signs painted on roads and footpaths.
Brick recycling yard at sunset
Black-and-white photo of a line of standard transport pallets – the square wooden types that can be easily picked up by forklifts. Each pallet is fully loaded with layers of recycled bricks, the top layers of which have plastic wrap rolled around them. The pallets have been stacked four-high in a large outdoor yard, with several empty pallets on top of these already high stacks.
Office building at the brick recycling yard
Photo of a line of standard transport pallets – the square wooden types that can be easily picked up by forklifts. Each pallet is fully loaded with layers of recycled bricks, the top layers of which have plastic wrap rolled around them. The pallets have been stacked three-high in a large outdoor yard, with several empty pallets on top of these already high stacks. Also on this yard is a medium-sized wooden shed. A sign on the door of this shed reads, in all capital letters, “office”.
Watch for cars at the curb cut
Photo of a combined walking-cycling path that meets a road with a curb cut/ramp that is designed to let wheeled vehicles get on and off this path easily. A strip of tactile paving has been installed across the path just before the curb cut begins. A little behind that strip of bumps is a warning sign painted across the path in large, yellow, all-capital letters that reads, “watch for cars”.
Wat
Photo looking down at a pavement with a large, yellow warning sign painted across it. The full sign reads, “watch for cars” but the photographer has cropped-out most of the message so all that’s visible in the frame are the first three letters, “wat”.
No
Photo looking down at part of a faded sign on a road. All that is visible in the frame of the photo is the word, painted in white, all-capital letters, “no”.
