This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Sports."
I've got a couple of sports-related signs from here in North Carolina.
First is this eye-catching warning sign at the historic Durham Athletic Park baseball stadium:
And this one is in a shop window in Chapel Hill. Translation: I love the UNC Tar Heel basketball team (2009 NCAA Champions). And I do. Go Heels!
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.
Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.

Great take on the theme. I have been having to commute to work this week and I can see the Durham athletic park from the windows at work. Happy weekend.

Durham Athletic Park -- is that where they shot "Bull Durham"? Have to admit that I'm not much into baseball -- but have to say that the sport sure does seem to make for good movie material. (Other favorite baseball-themed movies: "The Natural" and "A League of Their Own"!)

Hi YTSL, yes that is the park where they filmed that movie! I agree with you about there being some excellent baseball movies.

Hmmm. Besides baseballs, what other flying objects might be leaving the field down there?

The Tar Heels! It's been a while seen I've seen them around here. :)
All of the sudden I feel like watching Bill Durham again.
Enjoy the weekend!

Great take on the theme. I like the close-up detail. It's also a combination of the sports theme and the theme we had last week, "words".

Both are perfect but I love the on from the Durham field. Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies.

I love your take on the theme this week. The first sign cracks me up and I know the second sign has a lot of meaning to you :)
