The Torches Motel, Barstow, California. Don’t know too much about this place, but several years ago it was for sale for $799,000. Or you could buy it and the neighboring Route 66 Motel for a cool $1.75 million. Less than $45,000 per room! Seemed like a well-maintained place when I stopped by. Evidently the “MOTEL” sign rotates, judging by other photographs of that I have seen.
i like this shot because of the arrows.
this was taken several years ago when the "motel" sign on top of torches still existed.

On 9-9-18, one of the UP Olympic Torch units darts under the old CNW coaling tower at DeKalb, IL, as the engineer gives a wave.

I am thinking to myself, why is it that certain places have country roads which take you through some stunning scenery seem to have an element of antisocial behaviour attached to them?
Take the photo above, how often do you take a drive through some gorgeous country lanes and come across the burnt out shell of a motor car?
I feel a campaign coming on to do something about this, I am really fed up of the amount of times I go somewhere in this country which is beautiful only to find that the scene is spoilt by dumped rubbish and torched cars.
Rhododendron "Golden Torch". It looks more cream and pink to me, but what do I know?!
According to my wife, the flowers turn pale yellow later.

Torch ginger flowers may reach 17 to 20 feet (5 to 6 m.) in height. Plant it where it is somewhat protected from the wind, which can snap the shoots of this tropical plant. Due to the large height, growing torch ginger in containers may not be feasible. Learning how to grow torch ginger lilies will add unusual flowers to your outdoor display, available in a range of colors. The unusual torch ginger flowers may be red, pink or orange — blooming from colorful bracts. White blooms have been reported in some torch ginger plant information, but these are rare. Buds are edible and flavourful, and used in Southeast Asian cooking.

Torch ginger, such as this example at the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Bathsheba, Barbados, is often used in floral arrangements.
This ombre bloom -- known as a Red Hot Poker or Torch Lily -- sure stood out along the Arizona highway during our travels. This photo was taken at 800 ISO in the late afternoon as the sun set behind a hill.
This is quite a large, spectacular flower, growing in the Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo. Photo was taken on my last visit, on 6 October 2014.
"Now cultivated throughout the tropics, torch ginger is thought to be native to Indonesia, Malaysia and southern Thailand (via Flora of China), though other sites suggest a native distribution restricted to a few islands in Indonesia. Whatever its origin, widescale planting of Etlingera elatior has made torch ginger the hallmark species of this genus of approximately 70 species. That's a very loose approximation, because researcher Dr. Axel Dalberg Poulsen reports that Borneo alone contains 29 species...."

Just a shot of a Blackberry Torch to play around with the AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D, Nikon's cheapest lens. At f/1.8 it is quite soft but stopped down a little it gets really sharp.

My family has owned a waterfront cabin along Torch Lake (in Northern Michigan) for more than three generations. Myself, I make a yearly trip from the West Coast back to Michigan every summer so that I can see friends and family.
Naturally, I have my camera with me when I make these visits back East, and this photo was taken during my most recent trip to Michigan (2006).
Obviously, this is a long exposure, taken quite a bit after the sun had set.
Aside from a bit of saturation tweaking, there's been very little Photoshop work to this image.
. . . Usually the blue water of Torch Lake takes my breath away, but today the snow showers made everything grey! Looking towards the public boat launch in Alden, MI.
Have a great Friday and weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

Fall foliage has lasted into Spring here in the Wasatch mountains of Utah, seen here reflected in the lower Bell's Canyon reservoir on Good Friday, 2018.
This image is flipped from the original and as soon as I had done that it reminded me of lit torches and heat distortion above an open flame.

Antorcha de la Amistad (Spanish for "The Torch of Friendship") is a monumental abstract sculpture by Mexican sculptor Sebastián, installed in Downtown San Antonio, in the U.S. state of Texas. The work was commissioned by a group of Mexican businessmen living in the United States and friends of Mexico, and presented as a gift from the Mexican government to the City of San Antonio in 2002. It was unveiled on June 27, 2002, by the artist, Mayor Edward D. Garza, and then–Secretary of Foreign Affairs for Mexico and political analyst Jorge Castañeda Gutman
