That certainly is a strange sign. I haven't seen a dunce cap in ages! I wonder what the point and the story is in this case. The sign certainly is dull as far as color is concerned, too.

Aw, it is a sad little sign.
Interesting find.
Good initial interest
and storytellilng.
It is a big dark might try bringing up the contrast a bit and straightening.

    straighting it would be a bore, the angle adds drama, it's from the Dark Side.

Interesting story line. I too would have been curious. Great focus on the subject and like the dark coloring as well. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from armymom


The title is good, the photo is great. Isn't that strange? That just shows, I say there is art all around, there are good photos all around too. This shot is clear and candid, showing the odd mural that someone put on this stone of the building. I just wonder how many people pass by it daily and never notice it? You are very acute to have noticed it and taken this good shot of it. Good impact and creativitiy.Armymom,

Interesting capture and the mono version has worked well here.

Good choice not to correct the horizon here which shows the viewer where you took this shot.

Thanks for sharing and good luck for the contest

Comment from ambermay


I think it's great - and definitely suitable for this contest.
I wonder what people meant by putting such sign there.
It looks like a boy's face with a funny hat on.
Truly puzzles me.
Good luck to you in the contest and thanks for sharing.

    ambermay,
    welcome you are.
    when a student was bad in class they made him sit in the corner witha dunce hat on... i'm thinking that is what is means, but why on the side of a building... no answer to that one I have.

This is a good piece of journalistic photographer's are living in an age of information and even cell phones have video and stlill cameras of high definition. But what I don't understand is what is this about?What does it refers to.? Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks very much my fried. I love your comments and for the first time I am getting a taste of Irish English

    not really it's more a combination of Star Wars English, Irish English, English Enliah and American English... a hodge podge of English.. take care and cheers!
Comment from amazingb


That is not a dunce cap is it. I know I had to put one on many times. Anyway, this is another story starter. I am going to start writing stories based on the photos and images that I see on this site. That would truly be exciting to do, and an excellent experiement. Thank you for the inspiration. This is a black and white image that I truly am enjoying. Thank you for posting. This is a good composition with many signs that you absolutely know what the heck you are doing. Need I say more. Five stars says it all.
