I found this behind a trailer behind an antique store in the TINY town of Oro Grande, California on old Route 66. Sometimes the most interesting stuff is just out of sight — it pays to explore.
But sometimes you find a rattlesnake.

…on Route 66. This is the tiny town of Oro Grande, in the Mojave Desert between Victorville and Barstow, California. Was very lucky to catch that gorgeous orange train. This section of Route 66 has dozens of great photo ops — it’s well worth a day trip from the Los Angeles area.
And, if you look closely, you’ll find a cow on the roof!

This is the front of a building in Burano Island — those scrolls are painted on the building…not Photoshop. The entire island looks Photoshopped!
Drive-by shooting…

I do this all the time — shoot from the car. And most of the time I’m driving. I’ve gotten really good at pointing and shooting. Sometimes it works…sometimes it sucks. That’s the brilliance of digital photography — it never hurts to try!
We were on one of our Route 66 road trips in the middle of the Mojave Desert in California, and I’d seen this sign several times but never in time to stop and grab it. It’s on old Route 66, and we were on the freeway right beside it. Grabbed it at the last minute but since it was soft (blurry), I decided to convert to B/W and isolate the colors. I have this printed on a 20×30 canvas in my office and I love it!!!
I love road trips…

This is Route 66 in the Arizona desert, heading toward the California state line. And yes, I’m standing (maybe sitting) in the middle of the road. That’s a Burma Shave sign in the distance (smile if you understand that).
Be careful out there on this travel weekend, folks!!!
