We launched our third annual competition to find your funniest travel signs in September - and this year has so far proved to be the best yet.

But in researching our Signs of the times 2009 competition, we've come across another fabulous collection of funny travel signs.

Photographer Dominic Greyer has spent months on the road taking pictures of Britain's road signs for his website, www.lesserspotted.com.

Not only did he track down the roadsigns, but the pictures have been beautifully composed - and shot in black and white for effect.

At www.lesserspotted.com Dominic sells cards, books and limited edition prints.

"Far From Dull and Other Places" is his photographic tour round some of Britain's less publicised and amusingly named villages and features maps, etymologies and over 120 of the black and white images.

"Lesser Spotted Britain" is the card range derived from the book and new photographs - each card has a map on the back, the etymology and some rudimentary directions so you can find it yourself.

Dominic is currently in the USA photographing a whole host of new funnily named places - "I visited Harmony and Tranquility in the same day" - so look out for the new images soon.

Meanwhile, we'll be running the Signs of the times competition until the end of October, when we'll be asking you to vote on which is the funniest - and handing out prizes.

The most popular five photos will win a copy of the new book Weird World: The Strangest Stories and Oddest Images from Around the World compiled by Wanderlust and Bradt.
