Day 141

These signs are located just inside the gate of Socrates Sculpture Park, which was an illegal dumping ground as recently as 1986, when some artists and community members took charge and began transforming the site into the outdoor exhibition space and public park that it is today.

I don't believe there are actually any salamanders in this area (although plenty do exist in more forested parts of the city); the Salamander Superhighway (which is a salamander-friendly tunnel constructed beneath the gravel path, seemingly eliminating the need for warning signs) is just intended to call attention (I guess) to a worldwide decline in the populations of salamanders and other amphibians.
