I just wanted to document what the hours of operation are for a former Payless ShoeSource.
Here was an all caps system of white-on-[color]-on-white, where [color] is red, green, blue, red, blue, and the first red is a notched banner.
The checkmark is a clever spacefiller to maintain the center justification, right?

This is the entrance to one of the parks on Carters Lake, near Ellijay, Georgia. It's owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. A buddy of mine and I were driving around the lake trying to find a spot to photograph the sunset. As you can tell from the picture, sunset was after the park had closed.
When people ask, "Why do we need a photography park?", this is the first reason I answer with. Some parks are closed for sunset and virtually all of them are closed for sunrise. Building on this thought, the next time you walk into a park office, ask the staff, "Where can I go to photograph the sunrise/sunset?" I've asked that question in dozens of parks and I've only received one actual reply -- from a ranger in Yellowstone. Turns out, she was a photographer.
