During our trip across America, we came across many unusual billboards. Totally in the style of the '50s, the lettering and colours take you back to earlier times. In this case, we came across a beautifully painted billboard featuring Marilyn Monroe and James Dean along Route 66. You come across these particular billboards or murals in very different places, on the walls of restaurants or fast-food chains, to signs along the side of an endless road through an almost empty landscape. It is also so truly American, you don't come across these nostalgic signs or drawings anywhere else in cities or along roads than in America. I captured the most special ones, because this is temporary art, and so this form of art is preserved forever. And can be hung on the wall to enjoy every day. A nostalgic picture with Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, along Route 66, a beautiful picture for the wall.
