In fact pretty well every railway sign for train drivers is a mystery to most not in the know, but what does a big yellow W mean?

I think that the "W" sign may be instructing the driver to pull or blow the “Whistle” as a warning?

I think you're right Dennis. I posted it on Facebook and got more info than I really needed on railway signs.

I wonder; Now that the picture is demystified does it still meet the theme?

Perhaps the next picture will have something to do with 'Mystery" OR "Graffiti"

A mysterious light shines beyond illuminating the soul within every photographer .. or something like that

next photo should contain Horizons

[Regulus (Trevor)]

Good photo Carlos, very 'Close Encounters'

[pluto (Hugh)]

Not sure if this fulfills the brief of Horizons (the plural), but here is one horizon, a very bleak horizon in Norway.

The next image should have something Ancient

[Regulus (Trevor)]

Great catch Hugh. The blue sky and dark clouds all come together on the horizon with the boats wake. Good shot.

A few years ago, I went for a medical conference to Dubai, landed and spent the first day listening to such rivetting monologues that it awakened the travel bug within. so promptly I packed my bags and took of to Jordan for a few days where I found this hole in the wall albeit a very "ancient" one :-)
I did come back to attend the last day of the conference though but had no trouble sleeping midway through it as I was now tired and... bored as hell..

...and...?

You get to tell us what the next photo will be.

Al.

[owl (Win)]

Lol! Oh yes of course. I think the next photo should have something "momentous" - capturing a freeze frame of action (verb) in happening to be precise :-)

[Dennis]

Okay – here is a momentous, freeze-frame, action shot of a Blue Banded Bee in flight!

The next photo will have something to do with “big aeroplanes”.

Cheers

Dennis

Maybe this might meet capturing a freeze frame of action.

Leon.

How about we have the next photo with Rust in it

[leon]

Opps, sorry must have replied at the same time i will leave it there and think of the next one.

Leon

[leon]

Ok big planes, how about this one, then we could go to one with Rust in it.

Leon

[owl (Win)]

oh the bee is a stunning capture!!

Interesting building Win.

I was wondering what an Australian resident would find to represent Ancient since anything of European origin here as just passing Vintage status

Trev

[owl (Win)]

Yes very interesting- its a dwelling cave in Petra!

Just wanted to make sure it was ancient enough

[Regulus (Trevor)]

A lovely piece of engineering that's outlived it's usefulness. It's only job now is to sit and Rust.
So I think the next photo should have something to do with Outdated Industry.

[pluto (Hugh)]

Here's one of the old machine shops on Cockatoo Island.

For some contrast the next photo should have something to do with Modern Industry.

[Regulus (Trevor)]

Really like that photo Hugh and the exposure is excellent.

This here is part of the heating system of a hot house.
It directs the hot water to different sections of the house
These are fed by a 100,000lt buffer tank (has weird acoustics when empty) and there's two boilers heating it a gas one and a sawdust fired one for Co2

The next new photo should have 'edge' in it don't matter what kind

Have fun

David
