Point of Interest Road Signs - Submit a Photo
Help us put your town or favorite point of
interest on our map!
Thank you for visiting our website.
This site began in June 2008 with a goal of being the most comprehensive
collection of roadside
and trailside photos on the
web. There is no way for us to travel everywhere and collect a photo of
each one so WE NEED
YOUR HELP!
If
you would like to share your photo of a road or trail sign with your
fellow travelers who visit this site from around the world
please
send them in.
We
are posting pictures of signs that are placed by government entities
that provide information about a point of interest. The sign
should
describe in some detail the historical, geological, scientific or
cultural significance of a town, park, or location of interest.
A
few rules:
The
photo must be your own and you must have full rights to submit to
us. Please respect the copyright of others.
The
sign must be clearly visible from a public roadside or trail.
No signs from museums, zoos, aquariums or within buildings.
The
sign must be a permanent government sign or placed on government
property*. A board with flyers or other paper signs
tacked
on does not count.
Sorry
- no identifiable images of people's faces can be in the
photo. If you cropped the sign in a photo and some arms or
legs are
still
there that's fine.
Let
us know with your email if you wish us to include your name under
the photo such as "photo courtesy of John Smith".
We
need the following information for each sign:
1.)
Location - be as specific as you can.
2.)
Please include a month and year the photo was taken. If you
don't know exactly give us the year or approximate year.
3.)
Any other information you consider pertinent or interesting.
Note this - Free link to your website!
Finally if you wish we will post a link to your personal website or
blog on the "photo courtesy of" recognition. You can
even elect
to
have the photo recognized in the name of your business and we will
link to your business website (such as "photo courtesy
of
Google.com"). Some
restrictions apply to what sites we will link to but most are
fine. We will let you know if there is a problem.
We
retain discretion to post your sign or not.
The
photographer retains all rights to a submitted photo beyond giving
this website the right to host the submitted photo into
perpetuity.
We will not give others the right to reproduce your photo elsewhere.
A
few more notes...
We
will need to size your photo to fit within our format. This
may include reducing the size of the file to an appropriate amount
to
facilitate
load times. Please submit images to us of sufficient quality
so that can clearly be read.
Finally
once we have a particular sign photo we generally do not look to
replace that photo. If a sign is replaced we will add a
photo
of the new updated sign but will also retain the old one for
historical reference.
THANKS!
*Any
private sign must be submitted with written permission from the
owner of the sign to be placed on this website. Please contact
us for details.
