What a nice burst of colour the motel gives off against the grey sky? Where is this place?
I love the whole series you have posted of this locale.
Posted by Jay at January 20, 2005 07:56 AMThere's a perverse sense of pride on dislay here, even if the owner's aesthetic sense is somewhat lacking! The orangey red really gives this visual punch. Neat that you caught the parking lot empty.

Posted by Zee at January 20, 2005 01:32 PMthe red and even the white paint on the motel are really standing out of the gray sky. you managed to bring out a beauty out of a very ordinary scene.
Posted by ren at January 20, 2005 05:11 PMThis is the best maintained retro motel I think I've ever seen! (this coming from a Brooklynite). I feel like I could drive my brand spankin new 67 Mustang Convertable up and flirt with the desk attendant who's wearing a Jackie O style white polyester mini dress and tak to the narrator from Twighlight Zone at the bar. The text is pleasantly jumbled and the green of the "air conditioner" plays well off the green tint of many of the windows to the right. This would make an excellent travel postcard to confuse your friends with.

Posted by Jim Green at January 22, 2005 05:59 PMThis is really good. As mentioned before, you captured this seemingly ordinary scene as something greater. Nice job.
Posted by Allison at January 22, 2005 06:10 PMEerie, deserted, and the off-color drapes with that shock of red trim: very nice. This would have been a much different photo were those trees full of leaves under a blue sky. Great capture.
