Hi Tom
You've captured a nice curve in the road and the colour in the signs is very eye catching.

I like all these colorful signs and the pov. Also very nice shadows. TFS

Hi Tom again,
the great blue background of the sky makes it more impressive, an image rich on signs with very nice lightness.
Cheers

Hi Tom
Great pov and magnificent colors! Very interesting colorful signs!
Have a nice weekend

Hello Tom,
A nice collection of road signs under a lovely blue sky. I like the sensuous curve of the rail and the light and shadow play across the snow. Very good clarity. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tom
faut pas aller trop vite pour bien lire toute cette information, les couleurs ressortent bien grâce à ce soleil et ce ciel bleu, belle composition.
Amitiés

Hola Tom,
Singular toma con todas esas señales y la curva que hace la carretera. Excelentes colores y contrastes.
Cordialmente
Charo

Excellent shot!
That great New England winter light, outrageously good color and detail and I love the curve in the road. Vermont sure is one beautiful state. Terrific note, too. Thanks, Tom and have a great week,
Shelly

HI Tom,
Intersting facts and za fine view in splendid colours. The signs form a fine mix with the white of the snow and the great blue sky.
Regards, Gerrit

Hi Tom,
I think it's your very careful framing which makes this picture. I like the curve that railing makes. It's a perfect winter weather, and those signs show clearly and colourful.
(Have you seen this?)

Hi Tom
Interesting point of view that shows this line curves with graphic effects with good colors and contrasts. Impressive the amount of plates signals in this point, if somebody doesn't pay attention which will enter in the wrong road. Well done, Regards, Consuelo

Hi Tom, I really like the inclusion of the signs, also the bend in the road as it sweeps across the corner of the frame, the light here is excellent &, I love the snow, very good colour & focus, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

You have to be fast to read these signs, and I normally shout right when I mean left :) We now have a GPS system and Benno is so busy playing around with it that I hardly see him in front of the window but rather deeper down programming. I just imagine someone passing by not seeing a driver! We have landed in Rutland several times. They had a wonderful restaurant "Amelia's Canteen" but last time we stopped they had closed it for some reason. We know someone working in some of the hangars (he works on antique aircrafts) and sometimes he sings, he has the most beautiful voice that makes you shiver (he sang at the Metropolitan Opera in NY). His name is Jim and he is really big and at some stage he was Benno's instructor and I really wonder how he got his medical, the aircraft nearly does not lift if you have him on board and when he hugs you, you can hardly breath but he is wonderful, I have to return, who else sings in a hangar? I got carried away with Jim and his body mass index instead of commenting ... I hope you forgive me :) Thanks for showing this, this jungle of sings that I like so much ... Barbara.

Hi Tom,
Great travel shot with superb composition and beautiful, rich colors! I found out the hard way when we traveled in rural New York, to read these signs very carefully or you can become lost very quickly. The offshoot roads from these state roads can go to God knows where. Of course, if a traveler is not in a big hurry ,taking the offbeat roads are part of the fun! I spent my childhood riding through Wyoming (Vermont's population equivalent) and you can sometimes count the number of cars that you encounter on one finger when you drive off the Interstate and you will count 100 times the number of antelope. Superb photography!
