wonky

Tusayan, Arizona

another shot hard to resist attempting...the Red Feather Lodge, located just outside Grand Canyon park boundaries, was completed in 1964, so presumably the neon sign dates from that time... some of the lettering seems a bit wonky though, perhaps indicating a craftsman new to his trade

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/160s f/5.6 at 75.0mm iso125 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Well spotted! Probably got a discount on the neon lighting. V

Wonky is a great word to describe that lettering. I don't remember seeing this place where we were out there.

very nice ! v

Perhaps the sign is deliberately set up that way as it's more attention grabbing...cool shot without revealing the building..V

Love that you can't see the building - the sign's floating in the air.

I wouldn't have noticed the wonkiness had you not mentioned it, but I think it adds a certain appeal! Super shot too. V

Terrific find and capture.

The "wonkiness" adds character in this case. Certainly a unique find. "V"

Another nice fine, David. Crafting neon signs is a dying art. This one is pretty cool. V

Great capture of this sign V

You did an excellent job photographing the sign, and it is a bit wonky, but I wonder if it was deliberate to contrast with the more normal looking "Lodge."

A very nice colorful capture, David!
