I would have really liked to submit another of my photos that I took while at the Palos Verdes Street Fair but I felt that since the lights weren’t technically “neon” it wouldn’t fit the challenge requirements.

The Challenge:
Photograph a neon sign at night (or dusk). Basically, we want it on, not rotting away all depressingly in the sunshine.

My Comment:
This weekend was the annual carnival near our local shopping center. I went at night to get some long exposures of the the ferris wheel and various other rides. I was surprised to find that there is very little neon at carnivals. Luckily, I did come across this snack stand with the required neon letters. I like the effect from the lens zoom.
