ROADSIDE ODDITIES
I have a fascination with bizarre and unusual architecture, signage, and statues. Over the years I have snapped photos of numerous eccentric attractions, presented here for your amusement. Is it art or is it kitsch? It's all in the eye of the beholder. For a larger view, click on any image. Fine art prints from this series can be aquired from my gallery hosted by Smugmug.
