Let´s Go!

 
 
 
The weather was nasty. Cold and I saw this too late!
We crossed the street and waited till the next green light was on so I could take a proper pic for you!
 
This was in Hanover last Wednesday.
K was happy to not have to take care of me (her partner is handicapped in more than one way) and I was happy to have a calm, patient person by my side - win-win!!!
 
Isn´t this traffic-light too cute?
We have but the "boring, normal" ones. 
How do yours look like?
 
In GDR/East Germany they looked like this:
 

K said, "turn around!"
 

 That´s my surname indeed (translated "Emperor").
 
This certainly is for Tom´s Signs2!
And yes. That sign is likely as old as I am... looks 1970-ish, no? In my mind I am 30 max! 18? Not 51!!! Oh. Do the math.
 
BUT! If I was 18 now (I know I am allowed to drive a car (can do this since age 14))  - I would´ve missed so much I am so happy I had experienced!!!
Same with you?

Stay safe!

I love that trafffic sign. And remember the Ampelmänchen from our visits to Berlin. Very nice!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, they´re still like that in Berlin? Cool!
When we were there for Innotrans last year... I must admit, it was all too hectic, I did not pay attention!

I've never seen such a sweet traffic light before. I think every place should have such happy lights. Maybe it would make people more kind. Hope you are having a great WEdnesday Iris. Hugs-Erika

Ours are little stick figures. The 70s doesn't seem like that long ago, and yet I'm old 🤣 That proves how long ago it was.

Cute traffic light, I've never seen one like this.

Granny Sue said...

That traffic sign is just the best! Ours are pretty boring.
And about age. Yes, glad in most ways to have experienced the things I have in my 72 years. Some I would give anything to not have had, but for the most part I have had a good life.

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, I so agree! Glad K said, "well, let´s wait till it´s green again!"

It's always so nice when traveling/shopping/having with fun a friend who is low maintenance! Glad K didn't have to look after you!
