This morning I woke up early to see a beautiful sky full of clouds, so I left the house early, before 7 a.m. to go take early morning pictures at Newport Pier. I got some lovely pier pictures, and walking around afterward, I passed a small closed restaurant/bar at the edge of the beach. But over the bar were the Fire Rock and Widmer neons which had been left on! So, of course I took the neon shots, since they were so colorful and arty, and today I get to upload new neons. The Sports Cards neon is an old one, located in Costa Mesa, and is an outtake from the 30 Day Challenge, but I liked it because the first "S" was burned out, leaving a blue and pink remnant. It just caught my eye. And I added it now, since it made a nice balanced look to the current grouping of neons. Just that simple.
THIS NEON QUEST BLOG STARTED OUT AS A 30-DAY CHALLENGE AT WWW.WORTH1000.COM. I ENJOYED FINDING AND TAKING PHOTOS OF NEON SIGNS AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR MORE, ALBEIT NOT ON A REGULAR BASIS. I CAME TO REALIZE I’D PASSED MANY OF THE SIGNS BEFORE WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEIR COLOR AND ART. I’LL BE POSTING SOME OF MY ‘OUTTAKES’ FROM THE CHALLENGE FIRST AND WILL POST NEW IMAGES AS I TAKE THEM. I HOPE YOU ENJOY LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO READING YOUR COMMENTS!

What wonderful swirls over that volcano. Very cool. I also think the pink blue melange of the S in the Sports Card makes it interesting as it would probably not be otherwise.
