Brokeback Mountain and BetterMost Oblique Photo Thread
« on: October 08, 2008, 07:37:21 am »
I am starting this thread for our Ellemeno, who had the lovely idea of creating a home for photos that remind us in some way of Brokeback Mountain or our fellow BetterMostians!

I envision that sometimes the allusion will be pretty obvious and other times not readily apparent.  So, toward that end, I am also going to create a "Brokeback Mountain and BetterMost Oblique Photo Thread:  Unveiled" which will be for discussion and explanation of the photos:

http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,27107.0.html

I will post a few photos and also in the sister thread to get this started...I hope it turns out to be a fun as I think it will!

Here are some more pictures from that same journey through the American West.


In Tuba City, they've got a "Taco Del Mar" on the other side of the road from a gas station. We didn't stop for Tacos, but I did photograph their sign.





And in Sedona we came across this appealing sculpture of a cow-boy with his lasso and dog, which caused both Meryl and me to exclaim; "For he loved a little dog!" (Plus, inside the shop there was a rodeo rider sculpture - right before he goes flyyying through the air!)





Then in Boulder, Colorado, this shop sign caught our eyes;

Great pictures!

I especially love Jake's Del Mar.  :) And the Siesta Motel, of course.  :)
