I don't consider these ineligible under seasonal/temporary, but what about things like ski mountains in winter or water parks in the summer? They typically only open for a few months a year (depending on your climate). For example, I made some nominations on a small ski hill here. It was a sign for the rope tow that pulls you up to the top, "The Pony Lift". Without a sign it probably would not have gotten through, but should that be classed as ineligible because it's seasonal?
I'm just curious on opinions. I lean towards no, because it still exists year round, it just only is used during the snowy months.
Unless they physically remove it when not in operation, it is not seasonal or temporary.
Theres a shop in Glasgow that was o ly open fir christmas, it shut down all year apart from November and december, that is literally seasonal, as it was the christmas shop
If the shop moves out and another shop can lease the space, then it is seasonal because the original shop was removed. If it is simply shut down but physically occupies the space, then it is not seasonal.
It was literally called the christmas shop, that's seasonal, it's the definition of it
It may be open seasonally, but if the shop physically remains at the location all year, it is permanent. Seasonal simply refers to something that is only at a given physical location for a short period of the year. It has nothing to do with access or being open yearround.
I am the destroyer of Pokestops in the Stockholm (Sweden), I work for a company that create (and handle) concrete blocks formed as lions, cats, clephants, goats and other things, they are made to look nice for they will be placed in urban areas where folk live, it is called "Friendly and functional design", it looks better than a normal concrete block.
But folk sometime drive rather poorly and smash into them, or they do not have any function any more and therefore we take them back, and as a Pokemon Go player I see that many of them are active Pokestops, but now when we do replace them we try to put back same creations in the same spot, so many do not know that the "art" is just temporary, but nice workers make them look permanent :-)
Something like this i would call a mural
Nah, would fail, generic business, k12 lol
But honestly yeah, that's a mural and it looks amazing
Agreed.
This is something I would see as permanent as well.
Why three months? Where would you draw the line? Why not four, or two, or six months and one day?
What is being argued here by many is that "physically removed at different times" is a different case from "not always accessible but still there", and the generally accepted interpretation of "temporary" is only the former.
Even seasonal attractions may still be accessible by employees, or in the case of a road in a national park near us that is closed half of the year, visitors may still choose to hike in.
3 months is a season, fairly simple logic, plus its 25% of the year, anything less still would be seasonal to me. As for your road in the park, that's accessible all year if people hike it, so temporary and seasonal wouldnt matter. My point if seasonal would be inaccessible the rest of the time
Wouldn't it fail as being a visible number plate?
Ok, that's fair, I do see the logic there. Can't say I agree with the interpretation, but I do see your reasoning. My issue with that line of thought is that the wording is "temporary or seasonal display" not "temporary or seasonal access", and a seasonal display is generally meant to be one that is set up to commemorate a specific holiday.
not too far from me is a tourist town that puts up their Christmas displays immediately after Halloween and leaves them up past the end of February - nearly four months. I'd still consider that to be both temporary and seasonal, even though they are out for more than a "season".
Funny (marginally related) story, In that same town is a Museum of Salt and Pepper shakers. One of our local agents had it denied the first time they submitted it. The reason cited in the rejection email? "Appears to be a temporary or seasonal display".
Yes indeed, but I was just reffering to the painting to show the difference between mural or vandalism
Haven't viewed in the background.. I just used this example to show the difference between mural or vandalism.
"3 months is a season" - in most temperate areas, yes. But in a significant part of the world, this is not true.
