Jet Motel, Ruthville ND, Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

            Nikon F5, Nikkor 24mm f2.8, Kodak Tmax 100, orange filter.

Cool old sign in the strange little hamlet of Ruthville, ND. This town has an, erm, reputation. Just south of Minot AFB, this once amazing sign now lacks all of the original neon tubes and many of the light bulbs and the text can only just barely be made out. It looks like the motel in the background may still be open. I definitely felt like I was being watched when I was taking this.
