Eye Spy ....

This sign showing a cross section of an eyeball is a real standout as you drive past it even on a very busy St Clair Ave. I finally stopped recently to catch a pic and unfortunately at this time of year it is hard to keep a storefront clean, so the building is a bit splashed.

The eye ball does stand out! It's a great picture. We have a street named that here too, and this corner looks much like our street as well! Funny right.

I don't think I've ever seen such a graphic diagram used to attract attention to an eye clinic before. They usually save those kinds of displays for inside the exam room.

eek! :)

At some point or another I've seen this place before. It is quite a graphic.

VP said...

I would say... eye-catching!

Here is the same, the corners are always dirty :(
I will return soon, Pat :))

Marleen said...

It's not often that you see this outside like it is shown here. I like it!

Anonymous said...

Certainly different, but very apt... and eye catching!

Stephanie said...

Very eye catching!

That reminds me--I'm overdue for an exam. 8-)

The eyeball is unique and cute and I like it. But I can't hardly see any dirt splashed on the building. Maybe I should stop by and get my vision checked out there? Oui?

Something you don't see everyday. Thanks for showing.

I hate them we are under control always

It's rather impressive. Aren't our eyes something incredible?

Linda said...

eye appealing :)

If you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't know what it was, would you? The eye always seems a small miracle to me.

Nonnie said...

I have never seen a sign of the diagram of an eye. You have a great eye for signs.

Halcyon said...

Not sure I like the eye. I'd rather some things remain a "mystery". I'm very squeamish. ;-)

This reminds me of a local place call "Eye Site." Nice play on words. Tom The Backroads Traveller

This looks like it should be an old sign, yet I don't recall ever seeing it. Love it!

Nothing like an eyeball graphic for an eye clinic sign. Well spotted.

Lesley said...

The eyeball is a bit creepy, but at least it is in black and white ;)

No doubt about what type of business that is.

Definitely a memorable sign :)

The black contrasts the brick nicely.

a lovely capture - dirt and all - i'm a bit intrigued by the thing on the right - is it a fire hydrant?

Gemma Wiseman said...

The eye is ceratinly an attention grabber. It looks so bold in white outline on black surface.

Birdman said...

Eyeball close-ups bother me. Not like this, but watching medical procedures on eyes. No Thanks.

EG CameraGirl said...

Yep, it would grab my attention!
