    A varied group of photos. The sign confuses me; maybe I am one of the incompetents he describes.

    I LOVE the sign! :))

    Great skylights. Also, I always marveled at all of the television antennas in many cities in Europe.

    What a nifty collection of images. :) Nice!

    I'm not surprised, there are more and more incompetents everywhere.

    Those skylights are nice, but you have the gulls and I the pigeons...

    I wonder what sort of incompetents they are thinking about, anyway - honest people:)
    Lovely set, as usually!

    A rich yield of the day! As everybody here I also laughed at the "incompetenti" sign. I also thought that there is a need for many such signs nowadays...

    Sorry, I don't know who the incompetents are in this case. I'll try to learn something more about this...

    It sounds so much better in Italian--the incompetenti. Kind of mysterious.
