  • Police tape and a makeshift sign warn of a lane closure due to flooding in the village of Lavant, West Sussex. Afternoon sunshine illuminates the roughly-made board with red painted letters which says 'Road Closed'. The rippling water is less than a foot deep and we can see the broken white centre line beneath the surface but the linked posts that border the village green are also submerged. Even so, traffic is prohibited from passing through there for the risk of grounding or damaging engines. Lavant is a village just north of the city of Chichester. It is made up of two parts, Mid Lavant and East Lavant, and takes its name from the River Lavant which flows from East Dean. This area has been prone to flooding for several years and houses around the rising rivers can be blighted with insurance companies refusing future cover.

The sign itself has become discoloured with green algae after being rained on over successive wet weather days. In the UK, the Highway Code for road-users lists this warning sign (always triangular) as "Low-flying aircraft or sudden aircraft noise." Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • A makeshift warning sign made from plywood is roughly painted with letters declaring 'oil on beach.' It hangs on some silver railings on an unknown beach in England. The sand is strewn with sharp stones and litter and coloured (colored) a dirty brown stain high up on the shore line and more worrying, a little more distant, a father cuddles his baby child on a towel surrounded by possessions such as a cool box and the seaside toys of a happy family holiday (vacation). We look down on to this scene in disbelief that a parent lies down on such polluted terrain when health and safety considerations might have closed the entire esplanade.

  • A sign warning passers-by of chemical and biological landfill dangers on property owned by Waste Management, Offham, Kent. The sign has been placed on a wooden fence on private land at the side of a village road in this rural area of southern England. A substantial lock has been placed through the fence and gate deterring those wishing to take a shortcut through to nearby woods. Places like Offham were chosen for London’s rubbish and for many years gigantic ARC lorries left London for the villages in order to fill the quarries with metropolitan waste.

  • A warning sign on an alpine mountaintop for skiers, tells them of a closed piste and of a no marked and controlled trail. From the heights of this Alpine mountain, we look down the snow-filled valleys on a beautifully clear winter’s day. Lower peaks stretch into the distance and it is a landscape of extreme beauty and wonder. Little pollution or smog is evident and we see the sign that is situated in plain view of skiers who have dismounted their cable car in Liechtenstein. The warnings are written in 4 languages: German; French; Italian and English for the sake of international skiing enthusiasts who may wish to venture off-piste, taking their own risks but enjoying as much more adventurous form of free skiing.
