Dull, Perth and Kinross

Welcome to Dull, Paired with Boring, Oregon, USA, then, with a straight face, Drive Safely. The sign stands in the Perthshire village of Dull, photographed in July 2013. Boring voted for the partnership in 2012, and it is less of an insult than it looks: the Oregon town is named after William Boring, a settler who gave land for its first schoolhouse. In 2013 Bland, in New South Wales, joined them, and the three call themselves the League of Extraordinary Communities.
