50,000 years ago, a meteor slammed into the desert not far from Winslow, Arizona. Tourists visiting it crater via the now abandoned Route 66 would often stop at this trading post, built in 1938. Still in business, it has the world's largest dream-catcher looming high over the speeding traffic on Interstate 40. A pair of special Route 66 flags commemorating its route from Chicago to Los Angles flanks the dream catcher. The wind roars across the open desert here with such ferocity that these flags are soon reduced to tatters. I wanted to get them to stand straight out against the rich clouds in the background. I made this image at 1/500th of a second, insuring that the flags would be frozen in mid flight.
