CB&W ~ Roads

This week topic is roads. Here are some roads I have traveled. Road, street, highway in the city and countryside under clouds, mist and trees just to give the photo some effect.

CB&W – Signs

Signs are every where, mostly I do not take too much notice of them. These go in the theme what I’ve been posting on the blog lately. My trip to Las Vegas and California. I had to add one from the sign capital, Hong Kong. I have never seen so many signs on a street before.

CB&W Garden ornament

I thought this was impossible one for me as I usually do not take photos of garden ornaments, but yesterday at Wohls Gård in Kirkkonummi, there was this one in the back of the house. Convenient!
