Love the stark vintage quality... the old chevy (I think) and glass-topped gas pump are awesome. Do you have a time machine?

Great tones, perfect setting.
Looks like my buddy's old 64 Chevy found a good home..

Cindy, these Route 66 images are absolutely perfect! You have quite the photographic vision for capture and post processing. Love it all, keep it up!

l like the faded look to this remote scene Cindy.
Looks like the start to a novel.

Wow! It looks like it was taken back in the 60's!
Well done Cindy!

Thanks, Terry and Tony.
Tony, I took it last Wed, November 30th. It actually snowed in this valley the next day. Summers here can be very hot. It is desert. I tried to give it an old-time look to fit this subject. Route 66 is a famous road in the US, often called "The Mother Road". It stretched from Chicago to LA and took millions across to the West in years past. Now, I-40 lays less than a mile from here and cars zoom by. Many of the old motels and gas stations that serviced the early travelers lay in ruin. I love the nostalgia.

Was this taken recently Cindy? If so the processing is perfect to give a feel of maybe the early 60's or around then? Looks really hot there too.

Is this perfect or what? Love it. I love your
processing - it looks vintage!
