PMAE No 73

Driving along I-40 to pick up a rescue Akita. I have seen this sign (and others) many times so, today I made extra time to stop and grab a shot.

I'm not sure if this qualifies for the Dogwood Challenge this week -"Story: Landscape Foreground. Many stories are based around portraits, but landscapes can have stories also. Tell the story of a landscape by using the foreground as the subject and the background as the scene." I liked how many of the words are disappearing as are the items they represent are evolving as well.

very cool sign find

@kali66 Thank you, the Route 66 Kitch is fading away. The roadside attractions and shopping stops are becoming a relic of yesteryear. I'm just glad that film itself isn't.

@lsquared Thank so very kindly for the fav. These old billboards are a treasure. I cam late to the Rt 66 craze but am enjoying finding what I do.

Yes, it qualifies, it tells a story of the passage of time, and for this sign it is one of neglect and decay sadly.
