I would imagine that the sign was once as red as the walls. Combined with the architecture, the shot tells a story of many years and many seasons.

nice find!
Martin Lamoon21-Feb-2013 19:32
Powerful red on the shop front, and a rather unusual 'pink' on their name! v
bill friedlander21-Feb-2013 19:26
Lovely lines and colors! Judging by the state of the side they must have a lot of customers. V

Fantastic find with the presence of those red tones in every single element of the composition. VVV

Glass is always good business, this old store is a red knockout. Well seen and shot. V

It sounds like all their products are see-through, Karen! ;o)

Probably outlasted other stores and still keeps on going eh!
Janice Dunn21-Feb-2013 09:36

Great vivid red. V
globalgadabout21-Feb-2013 05:43
certainly some red..cool how the tiling is adapted to the slope and the caulking is echoed in the lines on the street..

Great capture! ~V
Mary Hamilton21-Feb-2013 03:59
Great character in this storefront. Looks like it should be a diner or music store. V
Micky Waby21-Feb-2013 03:46
Perfectly lovely red tiled frontage. Looks like it is still occupied fortunately.
John Lamb21-Feb-2013 03:45
No glitz or glitter, just a good job done at a fair price. Nice.

Superb clarity and details. Wonderful colors in this image. "V"

advertising knowledge.. use red to pop out at people.. they took it to heart! we have an appliance store in town that is really big and they painted the entire outside of the store bright red.. it's quite a site
janescottcumming20-Feb-2013 23:03
Well that's the perfect store for red. Nice sharp image. V
Helen Betts20-Feb-2013 22:59
I find old storefronts to be very interesting, and this one appears to be still very much used. The red is super, as is your POV. V.
LynnH20-Feb-2013 22:11
Really a nice, bright store-front. Good from this angle too! V
laine20-Feb-2013 22:08
The one store where your bound to find a reflection..the red is a bonus

Excellent image Karen, many shades of red. Love the angle you given this shot, many interesting lines. V

I love all these old shopfronts that you find. Hope it's still in business.
The red is certainly eye catching. V
