Perhaps I should have paid attention to this warning before taking yesterdays shot...
Perhaps not =D)
I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms. I am here to learn. the fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)
If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!

Surely a wonderful jest at the one of the most photographed sites in England. The writing gave me my morning smile!

@Michael Skorulski: Glad to be of service Michael =D) I'm not sure how long it will last there so I'm glad to get a picture of it. Most certainly a disaffected youth showing off his prowess with irony. Either that or its there to compliment the surreal Dali sculptures that line this part of the riverside.
Anyway, I'm rambling. While it is indeed morning I am off to bed for a few hours! Goodnight.
lol. Nice one!

While I am not much in favor of these daubings, some have a admittedly ironic twist to them!

@amy: Thanks! I felt a shallow DOF was best for this, I'm glad you liked it.
A lot of irony in that "sign." Something like the phrase "this page intentionally left blank" I'm always seeing in technical manuals.

@Twelvebit: Yes, indeed. Banksy is an infamous graffiti artist who is known for his social commentary and irony. This is either one of his or someone mimicing his style.
