I heard one pundit say we need a Chapter 66 Bankruptcy for the states as Illinois and California clearly need this option after decades of mismanagement. chapter 66 since both states anchor the ends of the road.
Albuquerque, New Mexico has a wall with the old signs that have no longer been used. Route 66 was said to be developed as early as the 1900's which ran from North to South through Albuquerque. Part of the curve of route 66 was known to run from Santa Rosa, Santa Fe to Albuquerque, Los Lunas as well as many Native reservations. About half was said to be an unpaved road but eventually became paved. Route 66 today became I - 40 but for many remains a memory especially of Bobby Troup's song, "Get Your Kicks On Route 66."
Continuing the series of images from the Sandwich Fair, the biggest and the last county fair in the state of Illinois. Known simply as "The Fair" by locals, it was started in 1888 and is the oldest continually-operated county fair in Illinois as well.
Held the week after Labor Day, the Sandwich Fair can draw tens of thousands of visitors per day and is a photographer's delight.
It is the reason why my photography club, the Sandwich Photographic Society exists. Formed in 1986 to document every aspect of the 100th Sandwich Fair in 1987, SPS is now a Chicago Area Camera Club Association certified club.
SPS sponsors a "Sandwich Fair Challenge" every year a themed photographic competition open to all that consists of 10-15 categories with the only criteria being that all images need to be taken at the current year's Fair. Many of the images featured in this series were taken to fit these categories.
This image is of the draft horse pull, a popular event that always takes place the final day of the Sandwich Fair. In this case, it did not take place inside the horse show arena, as heavy rains relegated it to a sloppy mess. So it took place in the staging area behind the show arena. It certainly made for some more up-close action and unique photographic opportunities.

Route 66 November 11, 1926-June 27, 1985
Whenever I cross over route 66 at the biker church campgrounds and look east this is what I see. I finally got out of the car today and took a picture of it.
One of the iconic images from Route 66, there's probably 100 shots of this on Flickr alone. This one's mine.

Royal Route 66

This is the iconic Roy's neon sign in Amboy, CA, along historic Route 66. Illuminated during the exposure by a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light painting device. After two long years, my night photography friends and I got together for an eight-night trip to Nevada and California. This was a 1856-mile night photography safari with Tim Little, Mike Cooper, and George Loo, and George the monkey. This is in an upcoming book about abandoned Route 66 at night that will be due out in the spring. Thank you.

Getting off Route 37 in Novato on Harbor Drive toward Black Point and the Black Point Boat Launch, the bridge that carries Route 37 over the Petaluma River came into view with the light hitting it just right on an otherwise stormy afternoon.
I'd wanted to drive across this mountain pass in Sept 2016, but on the day it was planned there had been early snow overnight on the higher ground, so I had to postpone. On my visit in early August I got perfect dusk light and conditions for the drive.
Historic Route 66 between Seligman and Peach Springs, Arizona.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
As we waited on the bridge for the next westbound a Sheriff's patrol car with a couple of deputies inside pulled up. Figuring we were about to get run off the bridge we still greeted them with smiles and waves. Much to our surprise once they found out what we were doing they were totally cool with it.
They turned on their rear directional lights for safety and hung out until the train came. After showing them the way it looked in the camera they continued their patrol. Very friendly guys that seemed genuinely interested in what we were doing.
