No Trespassing

 
This is a wetland on the west side of Inverness (unincorporated.) I was trying to figure out what they don't want you to trespass on.....I thought this was an interesting place for a sign!

    souvent on trouve dans des endroits, des panneaux bizarres ;o) on se demande qui a pu donner l'ordre de mettre se panneau à cet endroit. cela permet de faire des bêtisiers ;o) bon weekend

    often one finds in places, odd panels; O) one wonders who could give the order to put panel at this place. that makes it possible to make collections of howlers; O) good weekend

    Can I ask you a "linguistic" question? If the owner of the "field" wanted to prevent people from entering it, should he have used the verb "(do not)enter," for example?

    Maybe there are traps in the field or something dangerous????

    When I lived in the US, I was surprised to see that so much land was not open to people.

    Hi Marie, In English, Trespass is used in this sign as a legal term that is a completely different meaning that "do not enter". (That wordage can also be a legal term but not as much as the trespass sign.) The sign can be put up by the owner of the property or in this case, the government. My guess is this a protected wetland with something on it that they are trying to preserve...but I don't know that for a fact. Hope this helps!

    I guess they don't want anyone on their land. I like the angle you took yesterdays photo.

    Today is my 100th post!

    Could it be a geneticly modified plant? (hope my words are correct ones)
    Thank you for visiting my blog, I think the orange flowers are marigolds.
    Have a nice weekend!

    I clicked on the picture and see what looks like tall white flowers in the back and purple on the bushes in the front. Was this taken in the spring? It's definately a photo that leaves you wondering!

    No, I just took the photo the other day...the white flowers are Queen Anne Lace (wild carrot..considered a weed by most!) and I don't know what the purple ones are....

    Ooh, I love those fields of queen anne's lace--and whatever other wildflowers there happens to be. We trespassed once just to get a picture of this beautiful field of goldenrod...we didn't trample on anything, just snuck in to snap a photo...well, I'm trying to sound innocent I guess, but there was no sign like what you have here. Just a lot of barbed wire.

    Great photo. Hopefully the land is off limits since it is a wetland for wildlife.

    Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog. Don't worry about not roller blading, I've given that up too (too many skinned knees and elbows despite wearing all the protection pads!!)

    That is a strange place for that sign. I was wondering the same thing as you when I saw it. I guess they mean trespassing on the land. But it does look funny there!

    Definitely a sign I could see in the country where my parents live in rural PA. I guess they don't want anyone hunting, hiding, hiking etc. on their land ;)

    That dog in your profile image is quite BIG! I also saw the image of you with both of your babies.

    It was all I could do to keep from sneaking in there while nobody was watching.

    Neva thanks for visiting my blog.

    If this is a protected wetland I can see why they don't want trespassers.

    I'm a BIG fan of barns and I like yours from yesterday. I have never seen one with a foundation like that.

    Thank you very much for the explanation. It helped me better understand the use of "trespass." which has no real equivalent in French.

I am glad you stopped in!
