This at first appears to be just one of the many directional signs that litter the global environment ... so why choose this one! ... well this is very unique and only found in the capital city in that little country somewhere in the Pacific."Te Papa" clearly establishes the sign as New Zealand and you are forgiven if its locale is unknown ... however having established that the sign is somewhere in NZ ... "Parliament" most clearly defines that the sign is in New Zealand's capital city ... Wellington.
This sign sits on Customhouse Quay and is passed by thousands of people every day as they drive to work .. and like the sign indicates .. if you turn right you go straight to Parliament ... but sorry you can not collect $200. The Government does that !! 1st September is officially the end of winter downunder but we can get some crap weather through September and October ... ho hum.

And, if you turn left, you go to Queens Wharf parking. Easy peasy.
love yr comment .. we have a TV cook in NZ called Jo Seager and her catch phrase became "easy peasy" ciao
End of winter for you lot, eh? What happens in November, is that the end of Spring, start of Summer?
Is this a museum that gets a lot of visitors? I really like museums that tell about local culture.
Yep, a unique sign....have you ever met anyone who is a "sign designer" ? I wonder who they are, and how you fall in to that career?
Oh... So Parliament always means Wellington in NZ ;-)
No not exactly ... but Wellington is the capital of NZ .. and the seat of Government or The Parliament resides in the capital city so 1+1 sort of equals 2 ... ciao
Interesting photo and thanks for the explanations.
My first thought was "so many arrows". All that is missing is an arrow point down.
well Denton .. when you are already "downunder" there's probably not a lot of "point" .. kind regards and thanks for the comment
After seeing all kinds of signs around the world....I am with Sally..who in the world designs signs....I think they should be obvious to the tourist!!! or at least make sense! lots of arrows on these!
Great photo for theme day.
