The Shape of What Remains

 

You know how, when you close your eyes, you get that after-image on the inside of your eyelids of whatever you were just looking at?

That's what this empty sign is like.

At one time, something was advertised there.  Some neon beacon drew the eye and let onlookers know what they would find in the business nearby.

Now, nothing. I cannot even guess from the shape of what remains what business was being advertised.

One hopes never to become an empty sign; but that the lights will keep on shining so all can see what is burning inside one's heart.

Too much?

Street Art #28

This is advertising,

but it is still great artwork

everyone will see as they drive

down the street;

and I am sure it generates

more than a few smiles.

Long-closed store,

lingering graphic sign.

Mr. Panaderia

On the parking side of a building that hosts a Panaderia.

This fellow is getting a bit weathered,

but he still seems to be a lively character!
