Simple Signs

(FB Viewers click "View Original Post")


This sign along a footpath points the way to the "Hungarian Gate" wine tavern, owned by the Hubicek  family. The pine twig with the ribbon hung beneath indicates the tavern is open (not all wine taverns are allowed to be open at the same time, so they follow a rotation schedule agreed upon by all the vintners each year.)


I like that I live in a part of the world where a hand-painted sign and a twig get the word out just fine.
