Looking eastbound on old Route 66 on the west side of Seligman, Arizona. From what I can ascertain, this is about where the cover shot for the June 29, 1953 edition of Life Magazine was taken. More Route 66 gift shops in distance. April 2018. Nikon digital image.
This is the shelf where I keep a majority of my "old stuff" collection. Old cameras, books, magazines, radios, and boxes galore! This shelf will change around constantly.

The 'famous kiss' with sparks.
(From Wiki-pedia): V-J Day in Times Square is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays an American sailor kissing a young woman in a white dress on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945. The photograph was originally published a week later in Life magazine among many photographs of celebrations around the country that were presented in a twelve-page section called Victory. A two-page spread faces three other kissing poses among celebrators in Washington, D.C., Kansas City, and Miami, Florida opposite Eisenstaedt's, which is given a full page display. Kissing was a favorite pose encouraged by media photographers of service personnel during the war, but Eisenstaedt was photographing a spontaneous event that occurred in Times Square as the announcement of the end of the war on Japan was made by President Truman at seven o'clock. Similar jubilation spread quickly—with the news.
The photograph is known under various titles, such as V-J Day in Times Square and V-Day.

I was flipping through Life, looking for old booze ads, and found this piece of beauty. Figured I'd share.
BTW, I'd totally celebrate National Arrow Week if I had such lovely shirts to wear.
