Tarot Cards

Washington, DC--Back in the city from our Atlanta trip. We are all wondering how long it will take for the snow to melt. There is not a single place in DC with out snow, although some areas are cleaner than others. The sidewalks in our neighborhood are pretty clear now, so today I went for a long walk. I saw this wonderful neon sign on U Street NW: Anyone for a read?

The colorful sign looks pretty neat against the white brick wall.

Looks like our snow--all filthy. That's the part I hate about winter, you know, when it's not pretty and pristine. Now, as for the Tarot, find out if there's more snow coming and make quick plans for a vacation. :-)

I like the contrast of the fancy bright sign against the dreary wall and the muddish snow. I had a great fun with tarots when I was young, but never took them too seriously.

Interesting neon sign! And yes, I hope the snow melts soon!!

There's Happy 101 Award for your blog on my blog.

What great neon! And that dirty snow is such a sign of winter in the city.

Tardecita de sábado y repasando mis blogs favoritos. Un palcer siempre pasar por tu espacio.

Saludos y un abrazo.

It certainly stands out with its bright colours. Even on a cloudy day that sign would bring a spot of cheer. I wonder how many people actually go to places like that?
Cheers.

Being under a thick cloud of dust coming from Africa we had a all white sky for the last couple of days. Such a colourful sign does provide a promise indeed.

Please have a nice and colourfilled Sunday.

Do you think the cards will tell you when the snow will end?

I love the color, the compostion, the subject matter, everything.

I don't think there are many things more depressing than old (and dirty) snow. This particular pile should get a medal for top honors in that department.

Per Stromsjo February 24, 2010 2:39 PM  

Nah, I'll stick to my astronomy.

We'll be amazed once again at how fast the snow can disappear when the weather has finally made up its mind.
