I tend to look around me and not so much at the
ground. But sometimes this is a good idea as there are messages beneath our
feet in embedded in the pavement. The happy faces ( on the left) were painted
on pavement slabs in Twenthe and followed the preferred school route towards
and from a primary school. These ladybirds are to be found in various places in
the Netherlands. They mark the spot where "senseless" street violence
has claimed the life of someone. The ladybird is a ferocious killer so it is a
rather strange emblem against street violence, but is works well graphically.
Also in the Netherlands these colourful feet painted on successive pavement
slabs signify a pedestrian route for
school children. In this case the route towards a zebra crossing -that isn't in
front of the school where it would make more sense- around the corner.
