The Sky-Vu's the limit

About a mile south of town stands one of the few remaining operational drive-in movie screens.   Each weekend, cars line up to go in and catch some of the movies nearing the end of their theater runs giving families another outlet to bring them all together.   While I have yet to be a part of this unique experience, I have heard that it has played host to all sorts of events in the people's lives here in Monroe from engagements to first dates to family reunions.   Mostly, however, it remains as a great addition to the historic Goetz theater that graces our town square.  

I wanted to try and catch the angles of the sign in a way that would show both the character of it and the view of the sky, as the name suggests.   One unique feature of the sign, whether it is intentional or not, is the fact that one side of it is restored and looks new.   The other side is weathered and looks like a relic from days of yesteryear.   I decided to focus on the side that was new, as I could make out the trees in the reflection.   While the beautiful sunrise didn't get to make an appearance in the photograph, the clouds moving away made a pretty neat backdrop.   Standing there, I could only imagine the crowds of families driving through from over the years and thinking about what it must have been like the night a young boy got to watch Star Wars from the front seat of his dad's station wagon.
