Skywatch Friday and a Sign photo all in one! This is the State Theater in Ely, MN. Unfortunately, Ely is now without a movie theater. Bummer.

One from the Sign collection. It's hard to miss this sign hanging on the Barber Shop in Dakota City.

Big Neon

Some night neon from my "Signs" collection. This shot was taken around midnight, and without a tripod (because I didn't have one with me). A fairly successful experiment.

Monochrome Weekly - The Pines Motel

[click to enlarge]

Another photo from my "Signs" collection. This is a sign that I've passed many times in Postville, IA. If you enlarge the photo, you can see that some feature of the motel listed on the sign has been painted over - my guess is that this fine establishment once had one of those vintage 1950's swimming pools in front. Like most vintage 1950's pools, it's was filled in and made into additional parking.

My goal for the processing of this photo was to give it an old photograph look.

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs...

I enjoy looking at signs. Neon, plastic, wood - if it's unique, I like it. Watch for more photos of signs in the future - my sign quest!
