As we approach another milestone of a new year, I thought it appropriate to post this road marker near one of my favorite bike paths. Starting in 1910 and continuing until 1971, the tire manufacturer Michelin installed a variety of road signs throughout France. Corner markers (see the title for the French translation) like this one started in 1918. These markers made of concrete reinforced with steel will be around for a long time I suspect.
I confess to a bit of tinkering with this shot to make it a bit more interesting. I used an infrared filter (on the computer) to change much of the rather dull green foliage in the photo to white.
what a great marker! and i like your edit!
