Another day and more fun on the Mother Road!  Tonight let me share some images in categories;  Old trucks and cars, Classic signs, and other old rusting stuff!  Jimmy Upton put me on these old trucks in Arizona!  Above is the Monochrome version of a shot below in color, can’t decide which I like more, love them both!!!!   Thanks Jimmy!

 

 

Then there were more signs and paintings!!!!

 

 

…..and finally, this morning I shot the Blue Swallow again in early morning light.  I want to thank Kevin and Nancy Mueller, the owners of the Blue Swallow, they were great, you can bet I will be seeing them again!!!  And thanks again to Rick Sammon for putting me on this great place!!!!

 

 

Blessings,

 

the pilgrim

 

Oh Yes, a landscape too!!!

    Awesome stuff! Can you tell me where the trucks in Arizona are? I’d like to shoot them on my way up to Arches. Have a great time!

    Killer photos ! I see you found the trucks and the school sign ! When you get to the Hackberry General store you have to go through the gates to the right of the store and shoot inside the garage OMG (a time machine) ! At Williams, AZ. you must get the green chili cheeseburger !! Also there is a motorcycle shop right by the gateway to the Grand Canyon sign, Take a few minutes to talk to the owner. (tell him the guy he talked to from Alabama said hi ) he is a very colorful character. You are dead in the middle of photo heaven now. Williams, Seligman, Hackberry, Kingman, Winslow, Oatman etc. Can’t wait to see the photos. Breathe my friend breathe !

    Very enjoyable shots. I too drive the 66 to New Mexico. Love just getting of the 40 and hitting Route 66.
