I took this picture at Bodie State Park a ghost town off of high way 395 in the middle of the state, and fell nuts in love with the wall paper, God I love the western decay of this old mining town. The exposure, F stop was 4.5 at 1/4 of a second, mid day with the lens up against the window. You almost think your in the room.
Oh by the way this is what happens when the cleaning lady does not show up for about 140 years.

Ghosts

Part of our weekend out was to find this recently revealed ghost in Galesburg, Illinois. In fact I found 3 or 4 Bull Durhams that day. More coming. This is actually 2 stories tall and a building's depth i.e. HUGE. Bold color and shapes remain. Discovered after the next door building was razed. Amazing thing to find.

Kudos and a big THANK YOU to Dave Sebben, nebbes61 on Flickr, for finding this. i thought I got around the River Valley Area, but I am a shut in compared to Dave. He has plenty of ghost signs for those who like them.

The bald guy is Henry George of Henry George Cigars. Henry George was a populist economist who's most famous book is "Progress and Poverty". This link you can get a T-Shirt- www.zazzle.com/henry_george_a_great_5_cent_cigar_tshirt-2...

Fay Lewis & Bros seems to have worked out of Rockford, Il and Milwaukee. Mr. George, a noted economist, died 1897, I'm dating this sign to circa 1890's I'd guess. The brand went on after his death.


From Wiki:
Henry George (September 21, 1839 â€" October 29, 1897) was an American writer, politician and political economist, who was the most influential proponent of the land value tax, also known as the "Single Tax" on land. He inspired the philosophy and economic ideology known as Georgism, which is that everyone owns what they create, but that everything found in nature, most importantly land, belongs equally to all humanity. His most famous work is Progress and Poverty written during 1879; it is a treatise on inequality, the cyclic nature of industrial economies and possible remedies.
