The Mason's Big Neon Sign

I was driving home from Creede to Del Norte, and was keeping a eye out for an interesting subject for a night-time photo, to practice my photography skills.  The southern Colorado skies are very dramatic, as well as the weather, scenery and etc.; plenty of great photography opportunities.

Suddenly, I happened onto these unique neon signs, on the hillside, in the darkness.  They stood out like a pair of lighthouses in a dark harbor! My guess is that they are about 20' X 20' and are about 400 yards off the highway!  

MASONS, MASONS, MASONS!  (Would you imagine there were masons around here?  Why don't they put up a sign somewhere?  Like neon, on the hillside, above the lodge?)



























The obvious question is, what are these signs for?  Do they attract Masons?  Do they indicate where the lodge is?  I would think that if one belonged to the secret society of the masons, then one would know where to find more Masons,  or am I all washed up?  I don't pretend to know one thing about them, but I think they have rockin' signs on the hillside over the lodge!  Kind of a point of interest marking an otherwise blase ride into South Fork from Creede.

Wow!  These were huge!  The only way they could be more splashy and brash would be if they were flashing on and off!  Now that I have suggested it, maybe they will be flashing the next time I drive by!  (I hope I am not offending any Masons!)

and....I TOOK A PHOTO IN THE DARK!  Hooray!  I am learning to be a better photographer!
