Hi everyone,
Would you like to participate in this challenge? Just post a photo or photos which will be your interpretation of the theme.
The rules are rather simple.
Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
Your photo(s) should be taken during the week of the theme.
You are allowed to do some photoshopping.
You are to experiment and, most of all, have fun.

i.cubeupload.com/TQGxdj.jpgI promise I did not notice this sign when I took this picture inside a Tokyo mall! And I honestly don't know what the big deal is.

Sydney, great catch! You have good eyes. Aren't you glad we are having this theme when you are visiting Tokyo?

Oops, I forgot that the photo should be taken this week. This is actually from when I was there in June. Sorry.

Thought I might see some generic No Parking signs or such this morning in Asbury Park. Instead, just as I was telling the person I was with what I was looking for, I looked up and saw this restaurant across the street!  |

Don't try driving across after a good lunch! I stopped to take the sky for my sky collection and then realized that it could fit prohibited too. BTW the road name is Fairweather Rd and you can appreciated why after a good rain as it's mostly clay.  Tony |

My dh is on a mission to prohibit sugar usage in our house, but he's not succeeding very well!  Bayla |

Something usually prohibited is a casual visit to the tiny village of Imber on Salisbury Plain. In 1943 it was taken over at very short notice by the military to train US soldiers for the imminent D-Day landings. Imber was never returned to civilian use and is now used for training in urban warfare. The only building left of the original settlement is the mediaeval church. So a walk around Imber and the beautiful countryside around it is strictly prohibited - except for certain special periods and even then you are not allowed to leave the road. A fleet of vintage London buses ferried in the crowds yesterday for the annual "Imberbus" day and not a soldier in sight!

Helen -- What a catch! You were in the right place at the right time. Your entry brought to mind the TV series, Boardwalk Empire. Does this restaurant serve Prohibition-era cocktails?
Frank -- Something prohibited with a reflection? You don’t come across one that often. Great job!
Tony -- Aren’t you glad you took your eyes off those beautiful clouds for just a second? There it was -- something prohibited. Beautiful image too!
Bayla -- Sugar prohibition! Great interpretation of this theme. I really like it.
Brenda -- It is so interesting to read the history you bring with your images. The village of Imber definitely qualifies as something prohibited. I especially like the church image.

Skating is prohibited on the square. This may be one of Portland's more blatantly disregarded signs.  Thanks Sepiana! |

Bill, quite an interpretation of this theme. This made me smile. The same happens here.
