Signese.com is a collection of photos of Chinese characters in action. Although most are taken by myself on the streets of Beijing, many are contributions, which can be sent directly from your mobile phone.
Queries and thoughts about the photos are always welcome via the comment function.

* To be fair, the two characters are cognate, and the earliest forms of the character are just a picture of a flowering tree — I’m sure that’s what led to the confusion.
