I headed out today to take pix of unique Victoria street crossing signs. I especially wanted the duck one and the golfers one. Alas, the golfers has been replaced by the standard pedestrian crossing sign. Guess the sign was stolen quite a lot. I can see it being a collector's item. When we're in Carqueiranne I must take a picture of the one in front of an old folks home...two bent over elderly people. A little too politically incorrect for North America! I always get a laugh when I think of Frank Robinson (who was black) stealing the sign in the Raquet Club bar that said "No Whites in Lounge"..."whites" of course, referring to tennis clothes.

Two local Victoria signs:





Two from the Internet I thought were kind of neat:
