Shapes, volumes, messages - the fence is a relief from all that.

And I wonder where "post no bills" came from and why it's the accepted way to say "don't post bills" or "no bills" or just "don't post anything on fence."

An interesting point about the relief provided by the fence, Bob. I'll be looking for more examples.

And why "bills"? Your alternative is much clearer.

You are so good at catching the moment. The buildings make a wonderful pattern and I like the juxtaposition of the man and the Post No Bills notice. And he's actually talking on his phone which people don't do that much now. They walk along looking at the screen. Talking to another person ? What's that ?

Thank you, Jean. Toronto has had to put warning strips on the curb cuts at corners to keep people from wandering into the traffic. Where I am now nobody walks, so not so big a problem.

An impressive architectural image, underlined by the fence. The "Post No Bills" signs used to be reasonably common here, now it seems ages since I last saw one. Slightly belated HFF, have a great weekend.

Thanks, George, and a good week to you. In the end, though, nobody pays attention to those signs.

Canadians are so obedient, they actually follow orders and "post no bills" or paint graffiti on this lovely blank canvas .... :-)

It was a new canvas, Sarah. It filled up.

I like! Also, it's amusing that "Post no bills" is still used (here, also). So early 20th C.!

John FitzGerald club has replied to Diane Putnam club
Especially when no one pays attention to it, Diane. Of course, maybe that's why they don't pay attention -- they don't know what posting bills is.

Good point. What must young people think? Something to do with money, probably.
