While this photo is not the most spec­tac­u­lar shot in the world, it doc­u­ments some­thing rather funny. One for the ”Boing Boing” cat­egory, so to speak.

For some reason, the folks over at the Kin­lay House Hostel in Cork thought that the emer­gency exit signs don’t need to be too large, and don’t have to be hung up at eye level either.

Rather, it looks like the emer­gency sig­nage was con­ceived for dwarfs, as the signs were tiny (maybe 2×3 inches?) and just a few inches off the ground.

Les­son to be learnt here may include:
 – in Cork, it pays to be ver­tic­ally chal­lenged ;-)
 – when you walk around, keep your eyes open for funny things
 – small things are best pho­to­graphed up close, from a low stand­point, and with other objects in the frame to give some­thing to com­pare the sizes with (although I didn’t quite man­age here as I didn’t feel like crawl­ing around on the dirty floor to check the framing).
