 The Napa Valley sign south of Calistoga, with winter colors. Creating designs for each installation of the project began, for me, with each location — each location has different needs. One of those locations is the Napa Valley sign just south of Calistoga.  The Napa Valley sign south of Calistoga, in December, between rainstorms. I stopped to take a closer look and photograph it one day in December, between rainstorms. I needed also to check out, measure, and count the fenceposts that surround it, since each fencepost will be topped by a heart — and there will be another heart on the fence in between each pair of posts. It was a beautiful day. And it’s a lot of fenceposts — at least 51, when you add the ones directly across the road!
