I have, dear reader, returned from my holiday in Venice, but worry not; I did not forget you.

I kept my ever vigilant eye out for images for you, dear reader. I know your appetites, your lust for signage from everywhere I go, for those ephemeral bits of words and images that guide us safely through this life. So be not disappointed, dear reader; I would never let you down.
