This week’s theme is “classic.” I’m going with the definition of “classic” that reads as follows: “something noteworthy of its kind and worth remembering.”
The photo is a bit cock-eyed because I took it through the windshield as I was driving down the road.
Somewhere between Burlington, Iowa and Mediapolis, Iowa on Highway 61 on October 6, 2007.
This blog is about: Iowa, Illinois, Midwest, United States, nature, wildlife, animals, birds, ornithology, insects, bugs, entomology, Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, Moline, Quad, City, Cities
I almost posted my photo of an old Coca cola sign–definitely a classic! And written on a side of a barn is even more classic.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:28 pmThat is a classic and I like the angle from shooting
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:41 pmoutside the car. Have a happy weekend.
Great choice for this week’s theme. Nothing more classic that soda pop!
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:47 pmI’ve seen all sorts of barn paintings, but never a Pepsi sign. How cool is that!
November 2nd, 2007 at 4:34 pmYes, it’s a true classic. Even coming from a Coca Cola person like I ;-)
Have a great weekend there!
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:17 pmwhat a beautiful shot! Have a great Saturday.
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:50 pmWhat a very cool shot! Happy hunting…
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:55 pmWow, a big red barn. Very classic indeed, and well maintained too.
Have a great weekend :)
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:13 pmNice shot for the theme
November 2nd, 2007 at 8:32 pmHaha! Yeah this is classic! :)
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:05 pmWhat a great choice. I love the red barn and traditional Pepsi sign on it. Very nice.
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:09 pmThose are great!!!
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:25 pmThat’s great! Not only is the big red barn classic as is, but the Pepsi just tops it off!
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:06 pmGreat choice for classic!
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:09 pmGreat shot, for a drive-by. I once tried to get a church sign that way, and had very little luck.
The colors are so bright… a very nice photo.
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:38 pmI was looking at a Coca-cola classic picture a while ago. And now it’s Pepsi. It seems this warehouse of Pepsi Cola stopped somewhere in time. :)
