West Texas Signs

| Filed under: Texas, Design

I was going through some old photos and stumbled across these signs from an old Big Bend trip. We usually like to visit in late November/early December, and that particular year there was quite a bit of snow.

Since it was freezing cold the week we were there, I didn't get the opportunity to take a lot of pictures. If I ever get through the The Signs of Austin, you can count on my next project being "The Motels of Texas."

One of my favorites - the Stardust Motel in Marfa (like most motel signs, the actual motel no longer exists).
