2012, Day 191 - Riveted for your pleasure

It's hot here in the south, well, southern Oregon...  It has been in the 90s and I find my comfort rapidly diminishing when the temperatures pass 70 degrees.  So this morning I awoke to find the rest of my vacationing companions (i.e. my family) fast asleep so after I completed my morning ablutions I decided to head out and after a while I found myself in historic downtown Jacksonville.  It is a charming town with an incredible main street of well preserved historic buildings.  Fortunately it was early so there weren't many people about and that makes for good picture taking conditions but unfortunately it was early so nothing was open.  Oh well, I will take the former over the latter.

2012, Day 188 - Need a fix

I love vintage signage.  There is something so wholesome about it and although this sign is not old it has many of the elements that one associates with that aesthetic.  Bold colors, sharp lines, clean text, it is elegant in its simplicity.  Plus the orange of the coffee cup against the blue sky makes for a great contrast!
