Thanks, Peter! Yes, those signs are a vanishing breed! I'm not 100% sure, but I think that sign is still there. I'll have to check next time I'm there. - Ken

Thanks, Traveller! I used to go out sometimes on foggy nights to look for scenes to photograph. I liked the way the fog looked, especially in black & white. One foggy night I saw this and thought it might work. I pulled into a parking lot, as close to the road as I could get. I only had a 35mm lens with me, but needed a little wider view, so I got into the backseat and shot from there. The car was a 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air. - Ken

Classic Americana. You still see those motel signs around the country, but probably not for much longer.

What caused you to shoot this? This is sooooooooooooo fabulous in mood...yet also in hard and subtle detail...I am curious.
