BLUE RIDGE Tunnel, Rockfish Gap, Afton Virginia - Original Topographical Watercolor Map. A confluence of routes through and along the Appalachian/Blue Ridge mountains between Charlottesville and Waynesboro Virginia inspired this Map. At Rockfish Gap, the old highway, new highway, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway/Shenandoah Drive, and the Blue Ridge Tunnel (THROUGH the mountain!) intersect. I created a composite drawing of a USPS Map and my hand-drawn topographic hachures. Printed onto watercolor paper, I used watercolor to draw up the texture of the city of Waynesboro and the farms and forests surrounding this dynamic confluence. Original Watercolor on thick 140gsm watercolor paper, signed & dated by me. Paper size: 17" x 17" Frame not included. Packaged in clear sealed cello sleeve with backboard. {copyright © Kirsten Sparenborg 2021}

Something about these old-looking signs can't be beat. You can show me the most well-designed, standards-meeting and aesthetically-pleasing modern sign today, and I'll prefer these button copy ones. It's all about the classics. For those who don't know, virtually no button copy signs exist in Salt Lake anymore. There remain three button-copy BGSs in the entire Wasatch Front, and that's it. That's a big part of why these photos are so wonderful. This photo is from one of 145 boxes I've been perusing at the State Archives in downtown. These photos come from the Utah Department of Transportation, and were taken mostly by Cal Briggs or Gerald E. Peterson. The photos are sorted by year (with the exception of the first several boxes), and span from 1965 to 1997. Most are black-and-white negatives, though one can find prints here and there, as well as color slides. I have to hand it to the staff over there—without them, none of these photos would be on Flickr and they'd be sitting in some box for ages. My sincerest thanks goes out to them.
