One of the many things I get a big kick out of, while traveling, are the myriad of creative works one can observe right along the road. The signs and displays people dream up are just amazing.
This particular photograph was taken on the road between Morro Bay and Atascadero, California. I simply had to stop and make a picture of it. It was so colorful and clever. It made me laugh.
It also got me to ponder the very idea of creativity. It seems to me that creativity is a compulsion and basic to the human condition. It begins with the most fundamental drive, to procreate, but seems to extend so much further into our psyche. We are creative creatures.
What drives the driver? I think it's the need to communicate and connect. I certainly know that I am trying to connect and communicate with the viewers of my photographs. I would like people to feel some sense of wonder or amazement. I would like them to feel what I feel, a sense of "Wow"! Fine Art Studio
The irony of creativity is that it can be applied to both good an evil. It took a lot of creativity and imagination to pull off 911 and was certainly one hell of a communication.
Well, this post is a toast to my fellow Americans who constructively fulfill their creative drives along the highways and byways of this great land. You sure make my day. Thank you very much!!!

I completely agree that we are creative beings and that the desire to connect is what drives us.
Thought provoking post and great photo!
Nice One.
Where is this place? Looks like my kind of restaurant. Local, but not a dive.
Hahahahahaha, Namaste' Kinsey big thanks! for posting about something I have thought about a zillion times while on the road myself. If my acreage was not so buried in the bush I would be one of those places that EXPLODES in visionary story in front of peoples eyes LOL. I so agree with you, there are so many times I have wanted to actually stop and turn around, and go back to that persons place that hit me with such an impact, and ask them their story and about their *presentation.(s) Kudos great post!
