Route 66 nostalgia
A beautiful 57 Chevy along side route 66 (1 of 3)
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.

Berroeta,Navarra,Spain
The Baztan valley is a land of noblemen, indianos who returned after making their fortunes in the Americas, smugglers, shepherds and pilgrims who travelled to Santiago along the alternative route that crosses the valley.
Baztan is an evergreen valley with an Atlantic climate and is also the largest municipality in Navarre, covering 374 square kilometres, 15 towns/villages and dozens of caseríos (farmhouses) that dot a landscape of cultivated fields, woods, and meadows in which livestock graze.
There are several medieval palaces and noble houses in the valley, all of them well kept and of great beauty.
The visitor to Arrraioz is met by the haughty figure of the Palace of Jauregizar, a tower of medieval origin with a wooden platform at the top. The road to Ziga leads up to the belvedere of the Baztan, which offers excellent views over the area.
The commercial and administrative centre of Baztan is Elizondo, with its noble houses, palaces and monumental and religious buildings. Baztan has interesting museums such as the ethnographic museum dedicated to Jorge Oteiza (Elizondo) or the Santxotena sculpture museum (Arizkun). It also has delightful spots such as the Xorroxin waterfall (Erratzu), the dolmens of Izpegi and the megaliths of Erratzu-Aldudes.
On the way to the border with France, a road at the top of the Otsondo pass leads to Urdazubi/Urdax, where you can see a mill, a monastery and the spectacular caves of Ikaburu. A guided tour reveals beautiful formations of stalactites and stalagmites and the flowing waters of the Urtxuma, a stream that runs through the caves.
Caves of Urdazubi/Urdax are linked by road or a signposted path to those of Zugarramurdi, which history and legend have always associated with witchcraft.

El Valle de Baztan es tierra de hidalgos, de indianos que volvieron de ultramar, de contrabandistas, de pastores y de peregrinos que acudían a Santiago por la ruta alternativa que atraviesa el valle.
El Baztan es un valle siempre verde, de clima cantábrico, el municipio más extenso de Navarra, con 374 kilómetros cuadrados, que incluye 15 pueblos y decenas de caseríos que salpican un paisaje formado por prados en los que pasta el ganado, cultivos y bosques.
Son numerosos los palacios medievales y señoriales que adornan las localidades baztanesas, todas de gran belleza y cuidado caserío.
Arraioz recibe al visitante con la altiva figura del palacio de Jauregizar, una torre de origen medieval con cadalso de madera en la parte superior. Si se toma el desvío a Ziga, se asciende al mirador de Baztan, que ofrece una bella panorámica de la zona.
El centro comercial y administrativo de Baztan es Elizondo, con sus caserones, palacios y edificios monumentales y religiosos. Baztan cuenta con interesantes museos como el etnográfico Jorge Oteiza (Elizondo) o el museo escultórico Santxotena (Arizkun), y con bellos rincones donde perderse como la cascada de Xorroxin (Erratzu), los dólmenes de Izpegi y los megalitos de Erratzu-Aldudes.
En el camino que lleva a la frontera con Francia, un primer desvío en las últimas rampas del puerto de Otsondo conduce hasta Urdazubi/Urdax, donde puede visitarse el molino, el monasterio y la espectacular cueva de Ikaburu. Una visita guiada permite contemplar bellas formaciones de estalactitas y estalagmitas y escuchar el murmullo del Urtxuma, un riachuelo que discurre por el interior de la gruta.
La cuevas de Urdazubi/Urdax está unida por carretera o por una senda señalizada con la de Zugarramurdi, que la historia y la leyenda han ligado para siempre a la brujería.
Madagascar - Cette femme est une chercheuse d’or dans la région d’Ambositra. Les orpailleurs creusent dans les entrailles à la recherche de poudre d’or. Cette concession se trouve sur la route d’Antoetra, le village qui est le point de départ d’un trek de plusieurs jours pour visiter les villages et populations montagnardes zafimaniry. De sorte que personne ne prête attention à ce qui ressemble à des terrassiers, même quand ils ont de l’eau boueuse jusqu’à la ceinture. En 2020, j’ai passé une journée entière en leur compagnie. Ils étaient étonnés qu’un « touriste » s’intéresse à eux ert leur consacre autant de temps. Très vite, c’est moi qui suis devenu l’attraction.
La femme sur la photo me dit que si je veux la photographier elle et ses filles, il m’en coutera 10 cigarettes. J’avais prévu le coup et j’étais venu avec plusieurs cartouches de cigarettes malgaches. En distribuant plusieurs paquets j’ai pu faire toutes les photos que je voulais.
Ten cigarettes per photo!
Madagascar - This woman is a gold prospector in the Ambositra region. Gold miners dig into the bowels of the earth in search of gold powder. This concession is located on the road to Antoetra, the village which is the starting point for a several-day trek to visit the Zafimaniry villages and mountain populations. No one pays attention to what looks like diggers, even when they are up to their waists in muddy water. In 2020, I spent a whole day with them. They were surprised that a “tourist” would be interested in them and spend so much time on them. Very quickly, I became the attraction.
The woman in the photo tells me that if I want to photograph her and her daughters, it will cost me 10 cigarettes. I had planned this and came with several cartons of Malagasy cigarettes. By distributing several packs of cigarettes I was able to take all the photos I wanted.
J aime beaucoup cette chanson de

J'ai tant caché mes différences
Sous des airs ou des faux semblants
J'ai cru que d'autres pas de danses
Me cacheraient aux yeux des gens
Je n'ai jamais suivi vos routes
J'ai voulu tracer mon chemin
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Ou l'on oublie ses souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir
J'ai perdu tant de fois la trace
Des rêves pour lesquels je vivais
Je n'ai pas su te dire je t'aime
Seulement te garder
Il faut aussi dire ses doutes
Et les poser dans d'autres mains
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Pour aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et dessiner des souvenirs
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Et croire encore à l'avenir
Aller plus haut, aller plus haut
Se rapprocher de l'avenir.
As I hid my differences
Air or under false pretenses
I thought that others do not dance
Me hiding in the eyes of people
I have never followed your route
I wanted to trace my way
To go higher, go higher
Or we forget memories
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future
I lost both times the trace
Dreams where I lived
I have not been able to tell you I love you
Only you keep
It must also be doubts
And ask them in other hands
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
To go higher, go higher
And draw memories
Jump higher, go higher
And believe in the future
Jump higher, go higher
Move towards the future.

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.
