SUNSET

Now this is my idea of a sunset picture. LOL

i love these roadside relics of a bygone era, these are our urban neo-petrogylphs. they have the patina of age and nostalgia to boot. nice colors, i like the burned edges and the honest casualness of it-- almost like it was taken from a moving vehicle.

This really bears your trademark. Nice find.

NICE PHOTO,IT MAKES YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE WALKING BACK IN TIME.

Very nice work.

And it is a great sunset shot... My kind also.

So much great stuff going on here: sunset at the Sunset, "the sun sets" on this old drive-in as it turns back to earth, the structure still intact with its name but the marquee itself long gone, the attractive bare rocks surrounding this apparently rural area, and the great sky tones which darken beautifully as the eye rises. Finally, those pigeons! Very fun, David.

Thanks. If you knew me, you'd know that with me it might have been taken from a moving vehicle.

Thanks, buddy. I'm not surprised you like.

Perhaps it is a vision of the apocalyptic future as it is of the past. We shall see.

I'm always honored to hear from as distinguished a photographer as you. My only complaint is that you seem to post only on leap years. Thanks

Thanks for the visit. And, yeah, it is a sunset shot in more than one way.

Glad you found it worthy. This was one of those that made me slam on the brakes and do the U turn thing. A great sign, and I did not even have to pay the pigeons to pose.

Steps of Time on a bill board.Symbolic image ,open to many interpretations,David.

You know, I always come to your site with at least a little trepidation because I know I'm going to find something that blows me away and makes me question my own photographic abilities. I don't know how you can evoke Dali with just a decrepit roadside sign but through your magic arts, you manage to do just that. Terrific in every respect.

Thanks once again for your kind remarks.

I'm pretty sure almost all of us question our ability on a pretty frequent basis, but clearly you are out of touch with reality if you entertain the idea that I have your ability.

it is the most wonderful David Meyer sunset, and very original. Both, you and Jack, continue to have doubt (as if you can register a patent on doubts....) and I will continue to enjoy both your imagination!!

Thanks. You are always so nice to me.

Another "oh my God" moment. The color in particular makes this a stunner. This is far, far prettier than any old tired sunset scene.

Thanks. I don't know about it being prettier than a sunset, but it is probably as close as you will get to a sunset picture from me. For the record, I appreciate fully the beauty of a sunset, but I have never found a compelling reason to photograph them.

the colors and tone plus the little vignetting make it for me.....a superb image of old design...the 60's were really nice years for design...nowadays I have the impression that lots and too much things looks alike...the four birds add a piece of irony on top....

Thanks. I was rather pleased with how the red was accented and still achieved fading effect on everything else. Take care.

love the sign, the colors and the vignette, but i have to say those pigeons really make this one for me! another one for your book i think.

Yeah, and they'll pose for peanuts.
