Description

A sign in front of the cluster of cabins in Truckee where my son used to live. These were originally small vacation cabins, not insulated and pretty dang cold in the winter. They're also directly across the road from Donner Lake, so the view is pretty gorgeous!!

It is interesting how many old places like that are still in existence at some level.

Cool retro neon signage - I wonder if it still works & lights up at night? My son used to manage a health food store in Truckee years ago & he & his wife had a beautiful outdoor wedding at Donner Lake...

I remember back when this kind of place was all that there was on road trips; the good old days, eh? Nice shot!

a fine shot of a beautiful old decaying sign. You got the grid on the sign (the backing), and the strange twisted neon tubing. And the bottom "kitchens" with all that soot. And the branches and sky behind it. A real slice of Americana, with big light and shadow, and the feeling of how old and out-of-date these places are. You almost expect the owner of the Bates Motel to show up...Fine piece of photographic work, Marilyn. Not easy to make a sign like this 'sing'.

(It strikes me that I'm about to comment on 15 or 16 of your images in a row. And I think, you have to sit through all these in one sitting! Sorry! I didn't realize I'd fallen this far behind---I was off of RR much of the time you posted these, unfortunately; and now that I'm back for a few days, I'm catching up all at once. So hope a big dose of my comments doesn't set you into a trance of exhaustion!)
