My personal favorite (click for a larger version): a series of warning signs as you approach Fox Glacier on the South Island of NZ. You can (or at least, could back in '07) walk on an easy path up to very nearly the face of the glacier. At the time, the only thing preventing you from continuing to walk right up and lick the glacier or something was a fence that was just those yellow ropes. (I don't think they were electrified or anything like that. They were more of a notional barrier.)

The signs were very clearly trying to convey to you why you should not go past the yellow ropes. Rocks may fall on your head! The glacier is calving all the time and may drop huge hunks of ice on your head! Hunks of ice calving off into the river may create huge waves that can swamp you! No, seriously, no matter how shallow it looks, do NOT go in the water at any time.

In trying to look up whether there is a more substantial barrier now or what, I found out that Fox Glacier has retreated substantially from where it ended when I was there in '07. Hard to tell, but it looks like you can no longer hike as close to the face as you once could.

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

Crossing the Alps

We left Christchurch heading over the Southern Alps to the west coast via Arthur’s Pass. If we’d been in town on a different day we would have caught the famous Trans-Alpine train from a station in Christchurch, Linda would have driven the coach along the road and she would have picked us up at Arthur’s Pass – but the train isn’t running every day at the moment. Probably lack of staff, like…

// update: I no longer use Dr. Bright (or Mikell), his author AdminBright/Michael Peters is a nonce (aka pedophile groomer freak). You cannot separate this art (Bright) piece from the creator (AdminBright). Sparkledog Bright however is still my character BUT I am separating him from Bright
