signs

I have walked by this building numerous times and I never noticed the hand until a few weeks ago.  It's on the side of the Ulster Bank building, which makes sense, given the iconography of the coat of arms of Ulster.

  1. I think we are all guilty of not noticing features on familiar objects.

  4. Great photo of the hand on the building. (I'm very unobservant. I have to force myself to look all around, otherwise I miss plenty of interesting sites as I'm walking.)

  7. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't said something about it.

  8. LOVE it! Isn't it funny how you see something all the time and one day it just pops out and you see something you missed previously? Hugs- Diana

  9. Ha Bill, heel apart dit wapen, ook apart dat dit nooit eerder is opgevallen tijdens bezoeken in het verleden, zo zie je maar dat alles vroeg of laat toch opgemerkt wordt.
    Groet kees.

  10. Funny how all of a sudden you notice something that has always been there!

  11. The Red Hand is a symbol of Ulster and the Clan O'Neill. It might have something to do with being on the right hand of God. The Red Hand as a symbol goes back before Christian times. Nicely balanced photo.

  15. I just count myself lucky that so many of the things I haven't seen also haven't been lethal. I'd be long dead..and have never seen it coming.
