curvy road by snow covered mountains
Cardrona Valley Road, New Zealand

“Sign sign everywhere a sign breaking up the scenery blowing my mind”, written and sung by Five Man Electrical Band, could easily be applied to this image. While I don’t think this is quite what they had in mind, I can’t help but think of the song when looking at the picture.

Of course these many signs, markings and warnings contrasting against the white snow can’t help but make you pay attention. In this case I guess that’s a good thing unless you’d rather not and actually end up blowing your mind. Though if you’re on this New Zealand road near Queenstown you’re probably on your way to the Cardrona ski fields, which is a much saner way of ‘blowing’ your mind.
