Restaurant sign, Gardiner, Montana, 2008

We had a dinner and breakfast at this restaurant in Gardiner, just outside the North entrance to Yellowstone Park. The restaurant’s sign itself is pure commercial art, but its vintage western motif matches the rustic nature of the snow-covered sled that sits below it. The curving “Yellowstone” in the title echoes the curve in the front of the sled and makes the two elements into one.

Snow is an abstracting medium, the opposite of shadow, Carol. It does indeed create new forms of beauty as it masks the objects it covers.

Leave it to the snow to bring out the beautiful shapes and textures in something that often goes unnoticed!
