Weirdness-free zone? (# 18 in Namibia single-image series)

 

Sick of strange, odd, eccentric or exceptional persons, things and phenomena?

You believe signs/believe in signs?

if your answer to both questions is “yes”, a town/region you have never heard of has “just the place” for you!

It is conveniently located in the world’s second least densely populated nation, not far from its border with Angola…

Signage in Namibia, most especially in its “deep north”, is a rich feast of outlandish claims, wild imagination, no imagination, “innovative” spelling…and hilarity – intentional and otherwise.

An early 2023 post will feature a number of choice examples.
