Or is it just the giggles larger-than-life animals elicit? I listed this photo on Etsy yesterday, and have already sold 3 copies.
OK, it's true, I liked the sign so much that I took a zillion shots of it myself.
It's always nice to see businesses that hang onto their old signs, the ones that have been landmarks for so long. This was taken in Lake George, NY, which for a sign hound like me, certainly ranks right up there. It's been a summer resort for decades, and there are still so many wonderful old places that have hardly changed over time.
Another of my favourites is this one near Wells, Maine.
Once again, big animals. And speaking of Wells, it and neighbouring Old Orchard Beach are both wonderful repositories of old motel and restaurant signs, though every year there are fewer and fewer of the originals. In OOB, this one always makes me smile.
It's just so evocative of another era with its fabulous lines and colours.
