John Muir said, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. ” When I see a scene like this I see America.

I do not only see America, Sherri. I see beauty. Fading but you managed to keep it up. A great frame.

All the best & safe travels,
Fritsch.

I like to call it: ‘Anywhere, USA’. It could be in any place at any time. Perfect way to describe the image and scene.

Coke. It’s the real thing, nice capture of the fading logo.

So many of our brick buildings have these painted signs fading into the years. Rather a shame, one day they will be gone.

The iPhone is capable of producing either great images like this, or horrible crappy images like most of the ones I take with it. At least for me there’s little middle ground. I really do like this. It reminds me of an old Kodak Instamatic that I would occasionally use during college. Very distinctive look.
