Theme Day: The Color Red

I was in Ely, Minnesota a few weeks ago. While listening to one of their radio stations, their slogan was 'the end of the road radio'. I thought of that radio slogan when I took this photo for the theme day. I was at the end of a road in Cottage Grove along Highway 61. In the distance you can see the sign for Cottage View Drive In theater.

I like your picture, But could you please tell me what those road signs are, I'm very perplexed! Also, i like how you linked to an earlier photo, just gave a lot more lift to the picture knowing whats at the back..

Like my description says, I'm at the end of a road, these signs are just warning signs that alert you to not go any further with your vehicle as the road ends right there.

Interesting road signs! And neat photo! :)

Normally I see Yellow signs used in that sort of location so the Red really stand out. No excuse if you don't see them.

Are those red squares reflectors? I assume there is a street directly in front of the reflectors so people don't drive straight into the field.
