Not today

I have always loved old signs and architecture. Car washes are at the top of the list! This one wasn't very busy today with the sky looking like this! This is my first post for the "Give me direction" challenge. Here is the link, http://365project.org/discuss/general/17389/give-me-direction

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected by the tragedy in Boston! I hope all of our Boston 365ers are all OK!

[Nicole Campbell]

I love this Jerry. We just don't have signage like this is Australia, well not where I live anyway. It is great to see this and thanks for starting the challenge, I think this is one that we should do over and over again :)

[joey d.Muli]

coolness !!----am still looking for signs here in my hood:)

[Kitti Nelson]

Great perspective and an awesome sign - couldn't be anything but American! I am finding that 365 gives us such a sense of world community and such an horrific assault in one place wounds us all along with the rest of humanity. Your beautiful words touch us all.

[Arturo Trevino]

Very cool shot. Love it.

[Taffy]

The processing makes this look very old-timey.

[KWind]

Terrific shot! Very cool combo. My car is parked under trees, there's no point in washing it. I think it used to be white, now it's yellow.

They know how to make signs in the US... Bigger and better! Love the way you processed this and shot it against a heavy sky.

[Karen H]

that sky is fantastic. It didn't look like that in my neighborhood.

[Breigh]

Such a cool photo! I wish we had more of these old kind of signs here in Holland. We have tons of old stuff, mind you, but different. The old diner signs or gas station signs, yeah they just don't exist here.

[Katia]
