Today’s photo challenge was to post a photo of something in my present expressing hope for the future. Here it is: the hope that one day, life will be an open road for our children, who will dare to brave the forbidden and question the unjustified limits that may bar their way…..
Lift the barriers.
Multifarious meanderings 
Great perspective…I love the thought!
Thank you 🙂 It’s one of my favourite signs in the region. I’m surprised that Big Brother hasn’t had it taken down yet 😉
It must be the one thing Big Brother hasn’t noticed!
This is a real sign??
Hello, and welcome to MM’s pad, Vastly Curious! (With a name like that, I’m not suprised your first comment here is a question :-D)It is indeed a real sign, in the Hérault valley in a small hamlet called “La manufacture Royale” near Villeneuvette. An artist lives there, and I suspect she’s responsible for this tongue-in-check change to authority….
Just loved the picture and thank you !!Kathryn
Admirable! I think I want to have that sign in my room – so creative and you’ve interpreted it in such a meaningful way.
It’s great, isn’t it! I’m surprised that it hasn’t been removed by someone wwith the same idea as you yet, or even by the local administration. It’s not a very legal sign, maybe that’s why I like it 🙂
I see. Perhaps someone in the creative industry will replicate this. I’d like to have a copy of this someday 🙂
YOu only have two choices: travel to Europe and steal, no, borrow it, or make your own…. 😉
Oh! I dream of a euro trip in my lifetime. I will surely look for this sign if given the chance. 🙂
Excellent post!
Thank you! 😀
Brilliant. I don’t know the sign, but now i shall never forget it. 🙂
Thank you, Perpetua! It’s in a nearby hamlet we go to every time we have visitors. They all notice the sign post!
Villeneuvette? Must remember to look next time I go. It’s brilliant, and I love your interpretation of the sign. There are so many barriers and limits it seems these days, it would be great if they could be tumbled and allow our young to reach for their potential. 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! It’s just opposite the entrance gate. The whole place is great, but visit out of season. There’s an artist lady there who sells furniture she makes out of cardboard… I think she’s responsible for this sign 😀
I agree. Anything that holds us back and one another should be removed. Freedom and peace, love and happiness….these is meant for all.
Definitely. Except for mad axe murderers or drink drivers. They stay behind the sign. 😀 Lets hope our kids trust each other more than previous generations have done….
