Signage, Chapter 1

-
Sign in lavatory of ultra-economy Jetstar flight to Sydney.

The main purpose of signs is to communicate, to send a message.  Here's a brief collection of some of the iconic or interesting signs I've photographed since December.
These eels are in the ponds of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. I'm guessing they were the inspiration for the "shrieking eels" in the movie, The Princess Bride.

Legal drinking age in Australia.


Where is it natural to show your love for the lawn?  Why, on the top deck of an ocean cruise liner, in this case, the Celebrity Solstice.  Nothing like laying on the lawn with no land in sight!


In Australia, they even ride their bikes on the wrong side of the bike paths!

In a Sydney bookstore.  Now you know why Australians are so laid back.


Left with the trash in Sydney.  I hope somebody snatched it and gave it a good home.  I love Ansel Adams' work.

Visitors sometimes complain that the reef at Hanauma Bay is dead.  They are so wrong!  The inner reef, where they probably are snorkeling, is a coralline algae reef (a limestone secreting algae).  The outer reef, however, is a rich coral reef with no fishing and no anchor damage for 50 years.  You have to be able to reach the coral reef, to see the coral reef.

Common sense not expected.  We will post signs and barriers to help you.

Absolutely fantastic local pineapples on Kauai.  At $1, this is the bargain of the century.

We all have a place!

Voyager of The Seas: giving guests a reason never to cruise again

-

  A "veggie burger" in the Windjammer buffet.  If I wanted mashed potatoes, I'd choose mashed potatoes. After spending a month on the Anthem of the Seas , I was looking forward to a trip on a different ship. And this trip was going to include the entire family, some of whom had never cruised before, so I was looking forward to them being impressed with a week on the Voyager of the Seas. Voyager is a smaller ship than Anthem , so I knew in advance there were some missing amenities. Still, they were all part of the Royal Caribbean corporate ecosystem, so the overlapping elements, like the quality of the food and service or the accuracy of the "Cruise Compass" (a digital or paper calendar detailing everything there is to see and do onboard, from dining times to the location of trivia contests to where all the many musicians are playing) should be similar. It wasn't. The week we returned home, we canceled our future transatlantic cruise on the  Voyager. We neve

The one, the only... Chobe National Park, Botswana!

We were on our way to the famous Chobe National Park, in northern Botswana.  This visit was somewhat troubling for me.  In May, Botswana's president had announced an  end  to a five year ban on elephant hunting.  Elephant hunting?  There were calls for a boycott against Botswana.  Botswana is a bright spot for African savannah elephants, with over 100,000 in the country.  The proposal was to permit around 400 elephants to be killed by trophy hunters, who presumably would pay $30-50 thousand dollars to kill each of these animals (at $40,000 each, that would come out to $16 million).  There's roughly an equal number of elephants being poached for their ivory each year in Botswana.   I'm going to editorialize on hunting elephants for a moment.  Just scroll down to the white rhino photo below to skip my ramblings. But the overall populations of both forest and savannah elephants in Africa are in steep decline (especially with forest elephants ). And did you catch th

The Tale of the Maui Mystery Cat

In 2003, a jaguar was suspected of terrorizing residents of the Olinda area, Maui. Photo of a jaguar attacking a cayman in the Pantanal, Brazil, by Frank Schoen.

Used with permission.      In 2003, I was sitting in a Starbucks across from the Honolulu Zoo in Waikiki, reading the Honolulu Advertiser , when I came across an article about the sighting of a large, cat-like creature on Maui. I don't have that initial article, but I did find an archived copy of an article from Hawaii News Now on the topic: Wildlife officials are planning to intensify efforts today to capture a large catlike animal spotted in the lower Olinda area of Upcountry Maui. A search team sent out yesterday found evidence the animal does exist. They discovered tree trunks with deep scratch marks and a number of doves that appeared to be killed by a catlike paw. Wildlife experts plan to bait an existing trap today and add four more traps. Officials say they be
