One of the things I find myself doing whenever I'm out, weather fishing or driving, I like to take photos of signs. Some of the signs tell of places, people, and achievements. Some of them are well thought out, and some.... well they're there.
I suppose if I had to pay for the film, and the development I might not do this, but digital photos, much cheaper. I guess most would say there are nicer subjects to photograph, and I agree, I still like to show the signs.

Geeez that sounds like my kind of town.
ReplyDeleteNice photos. The catskills are a great place to fish.
ReplyDeleteDid you go the "world famous diner" after taking a picture of the Roscoe sign?
ReplyDeleteI like signs as well , they tell an entire story without any explanation from the photographer. Roscoe sounds like a place I need to visit...Jeff
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I was the only one who took the time to do that! It's all becoming so clear now...
ReplyDeleteLast summer we passed a diary farm with an ad sign in the middle that said something to the effect of "Got beef?". The cows in the foreground made for a very funny picture.
ReplyDeleteI've got some nice sign photos too. I think it's a nice way to remember a place. I've also seen some good signs and later regretted not taking a picture.
ReplyDeleteKev2380,
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Roscoe is a wonderful town, in an area loaded with fly fishing history.
George,
Thanks.
So many streams, so little time.
Kiwi,
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Every time we are there. The Roscoe Diner.
The Little Store is also a place to visit.
HighPlainsFlyFisher,
Thanks.
Roscoe is a small town, with BIG FLY FISHING.
John,
ReplyDeleteThanks.
From reading these comments, I think they're more of us.
Mark,
Thanks.
Sounds good....hope you got a photo.
Jay,
Thanks.
It's true, a photo of a sign can bring back the memories of the area we were in without further looking.
Drove Rt17 past Roscoe a dozen times in the mid-70s and now lament I was not a fly fisher back then... Maybe I'll get back there some day.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting collection of pictures of signs. I see a bunch, but didn't really think of taking pictures of them. I certainly will in the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Mark
I must get to the Catskills...your pictures only reinforce that notion in my mind. Thanks for the visual tour of the signage.
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteThanks.
It's not to far from VT.
Shoreman,
Thanks.
I take an interest in odd things. I even photograph mushrooms, and I don't know a thing about them.
troutrageous1,
Thanks.
Great fishing, beautiful area. And the Catskill Fly Fishing Museum. It's worth the trip.
Great photos!
ReplyDeleteand I agree, signs can tell great stories.
Those are some great signs. It's crazy how many different interesting ones are out there. Thanks for sharing the pics. Roscoe looks like the place to be :) Tight Lines.
ReplyDeleteI fished the Sandy River in Maine two years ago with a couple friends in late spring. We caught only a few fish, but each of us managed a brown over 18", the largest nearing 23". I went back later that summer to find the river a shell of its former self, barely managing a noticeable current. Such a strange contrast.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, I recognize that third sign! Passed that by many a time.
