Signs In Salers

I often take photos of signs, especially small out-of-the-way signs. I like the colors, I like the fonts (what did we say before we all learned what a font is?), I like what they say.

This electric company sign is about three inches high.

And I like that a photo of a sign lets you look at it differently. When you see a sign in the street, you glance at it only long enough to get the information you need. Often a sign is like, if not actually, a pictogram, something you see all the time and recognize without actually needing to read it. Like a stop sign or gas station brand sign.

And there are multitude of little signs all over the place that we hardly even see, let alone read. But in pictures, you can begin to see the art in signs. And once you start looking, you find you look longer (if you can) and actually start to seek out the signs.

Ok, this is getting too deep for me. These are just a few of the signs I saw in Salers. If you'd like to see more sign photos, click on the "signs" label in the sidebar on the right.
