Thank you, inframan. I think this could be "double your pleasure, double the fun" concept
carried to its ultimate!

This is very funny. I'm a sucker for old motels anyway, but the super-imposition of the mural over the real thing is such a great statement of commerce & (innocent) self-deception.

euston, Thank you very much. These places are the few
authentic remnants of a time otherwise long past (it's all
about "redevelopment" now). I get a big kick out of them
and hope that they'll be around a while longer.

A choice piece of Americana and an interesting commentary on
the nature of art. The artist has painted the mountains on the wall
even though you only have to look up to see the real thing. Then you
come along with your camera to capture both. There's more in
this picture than meets the eye.
