Southwark, London.
I must admit that there are many pictures of this sign around - this is my take in the late afternoon, spring light.
I believe the sign means to tell people not to urinate/defacate on the wall/in the street. How shy they were in those Victorian days.
01 Июль 2010, 16:10 Sir Cam brilliant:-)) well spotted! i wonder how they define "nuisance":-)
02 Июль 2010, 14:03 Digital Agent wonderful azure for sure, well taken
03 Июль 2010, 13:53 greenwood100 In this day I'd venture that photography is the nuisance. Go ahead and commit.
04 Июль 2010, 05:23 Steve-h Great take on the subject, the perspective is dizzying, great contrast against the sky.
05 Июль 2010, 00:57 An@nd - chronicpixel.com splendid ! And don't be intimidated !
05 Июль 2010, 09:10 Shahriar Erfanian That's a tall order, certainly intimidating ;) but, ther's nothing like breaking the rules Eh!Great PoV, Nice shot!
06 Июль 2010, 04:05 Susan & her 5d it's the first time i see a picture of this sign :) and i like the perspective and the contrast

very interesting shot - great PoV and
textures!!!--
Seen on your photo stream. (?)
07 Июль 2010, 19:05 CVerwaal nice pic. i especially like the drain pipe. and surely this is the answer for any modern-day unruly area? stick a few of these signs up and civic harmony is sure to follow.
08 Июль 2010, 15:01 bennymkje Oh, the Victorians were so polite.. :-) nice catch and PoV.

11 Июль 2010, 14:04 digitus_malus My sister-in-law bought us a numbered signed print of this for Christmas a few years back which they allegedly paid a lot of money for. I couldn't help thinking "A photograph of a bloody sign on a brick wall - I could do that..."

13 Июль 2010, 08:17 SA_Steve I'd be tempted, so I try to avoid signs like that.
13 Июль 2010, 12:13 ftoomschb But it's so much fun!Great find and capture!
13 Июль 2010, 20:48 dvness Heh heh. With the steep angle upward, it looks like a message from God.
