Why did motel owners of this era go to such an expense over these elaborate eye catching signs? They harken back to an era of motor highway exploration, curb side advertising, and slower traffic speeds.

I photographed this with my IPhone using Hipstamatic, Chunky lens, Blanko Freedom 13 Film, and Pixlromatic.

I was thrilled to get this shot with the Santa Fe Smoke stack included.

If you see a madman dumping buckets of water on the sidewalk at the San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot, that's me!

Thanks for having a look.

It's not often that there are standing puddles of water around the San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot and it isn't often that I'm there to see a Union Pacific locomotive parked or passing slowly by on the closest BNSF tracks. I wasn't quick enough to get the shot I wanted around the nearby light standard, so I had to take some artistic license in Photoshop.

Thank you for having a look.
