I've been thinking of the desert and Route 66

I've been thinking of the desert and my trip along Route 66 in New Mexico and Arizona.

It was mainly warm or hot, except when it snowed in Tucumcari.  I loved seeing the old gas stations, quirky buildings (especially concrete tepees with ensuite!), decaying signage and the hot, bright desert.

It's really chilly here in Wolverhampton at the moment!

I'm gradually adding some of these Fine Art photographs onto my on-line shop at Etsy
