Oh, the irony: part II

I've been going through all my old photos from the last year, trying to decide which ones are worth keeping (I got my digital camera almost exactly a year ago). I'll probably post up a few more of what i think are the best or most amusing ones as a sort of an "end of year review" thing...

This one was taken in August, and put in my "ironic/amusing signs" picture folder and forgotten about:



Description: it's a layby on a high street in front of some public buildings (a library and a police station to be exact, although you can't see in this photo that that's what they are). In the foreground is a parking space reserved for disabled people, marked with the word "DISABLED" in big capital letters painted on the road with a dotted line. Just behind the word "DISABLED", the street surface has been torn up for some sort of roadworks, and there's a big pile of rubble (topped with a broken chair), which makes it impossible for any vehicle to park there. Two pairs of traffic cones frame the image at the bottom left and top right corners.

Well, it amused me... you know, the parking space itself is disabled? Maybe i'm the only one who finds taking words deliberqately over-literally funny...

(The first ironic sign was this one...)
