Gallup, New Mexico, on Route 66. (Actually NM Rte 118; there is no longer a US Route 66. It just sounds better. Nobody says "I got my kicks on New Mexico 118".)
This place was apparently in operation until about 2013, when a fire caused it to shut down. Wouldn't be surprised if several state agencies weren't far behind, either.
After a blustery and rainy afternoon, we were treated to a nice sunset.

Nest of the Bald-faced Hornet, which is really a kind of aerial yellowjacket and not closely related to the "true" European Hornet. These nests are within a few dozen yards of the nest fragment I photographed last year. Now that winter winds have removed the leaves, it is much easier to see them. But sometimes those same wind damage the nests severely. New nests are built every year.
This species is black and white, rather than black and yellow like other yellowjackets, which nest below ground.
They are said to be "aggressively defensive". But because their nests are fairly high in trees and usually away from habitations, I don't think they are usual culprits in "wasp stings" at picnics.
The burrowing yellowjackets are notorious for attacking picnics, where they are attracted to meat, sugar, and water. They have been known to crawl inside soda cans, with very unpleasant results for the drinker.

After waiting for a westbound covered hopper train to clear (getting into the clear in the yard at Gallup), this eastbound intermodal train now has a clear signal and is on the move on Main 1.

Route 66 throws up many surprises...it is dotted along its route with large plastic cowboys, for example. This one is missing its axe or possibly a wrench.

The Gallup balloon is one of New Mexico balloons, I took the chance to capture its presence as it past me, all the while hoping since the Box was working that I'd possibly get a second chance when the sun came shining through, but it never gained enough altitude to get into the upper winds.one of the new notations for next years Camera camp 2015, Spirit of the Winds came to mind the name given to this event week. the red tainted sky at 7:40 made for a wonderful backdrop. come see the special Album made up of Albuquerque Fiesta collection. Now with 67+ photo's
The lobby of the El Rancho Hotel, along Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. It was dark when we arrived in Gallup to get gas, and we decided to get dinner there. We ended up eating in the restaurant at the El Rancho Hotel, an old historic hotel along Route 66. The hotel was built in 1936 by the brother of film director D.W. Griffith, with a rustic feel of an old hunting lodge. The hotel catered to the Hollywood stars staying there while making films, and the walls of the lobby are lined with pictures of John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Humprey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, Errol Flynn and Kirk Douglas.
