I wonder if other animals enjoy a nice view, the way humans do
@CiaraNi Bears have been observed to do that.
Maybe that's one way gulls unwind, in between sessions of screeching and chip-diving. -
@psneeze That is what I need to do. I mean, it's mortifying, to have been assigned a *seagull*.
-
I like the fact that the signs in Cornwall say Beware The Gulls. As opposed to Beware Of The Gulls. Beware The Gulls sounds more ominous, more chilling, more 'these creatures are demonic, you are in grave peril'.
@CiaraNi
Here be Gulls -

@CiaraNi
Here be Gulls@notsoloud That'd keep me away. Scarier than dragons. So much more screeching, and less interesting.

@CiaraNi I like how your sign is a mirror image of ours, including the color.

@eniatitova Oh wow, they really do echo one another. Assuming the San Francisco sign is older, maybe someone at the council in Cornwall knew it and was inspired by it. That Scenic Drive sign is cool - I love the graphics of it. Thanks for sharing it.

@eniatitova 1950s - a great decade for graphics and posters. I assume the Cornwall seagull warning sign is much more recent, as I think seagullduggery is a more recent phenomenon.

@pilum Precisely!
