Second batch from July of 2008, featuring mainly US-82 and US-78 in Arkansas and Mississippi. Along US-82 in southwest Arkansas is a wild animal farm. Here is a half-horse half-zebra creature. Some of the last cutouts in Mississippi. There is a US-45 somewhere, too. Extra tall sunset, somewhere approaching Tupelo on old US-78. […]
A New Orleans – and general south – trip from July of 2008. This is a glass cateye reflector sign. There are four of them, and they all date back to about 1936 when this bridge in New Orleans was opened. The Milky Way over partly cloudy skies. Lights from Shreveport are providing the orange glow. […]
Just broke 10000 total photos. if you're wondering, the 10000th one is in this set of photos, from the 1967 50th Anniversary edition of Texas Highways magazine.
The third day, in which we see much Texas. Cadillacs in the mist. The world-famous Cadillac Ranch, just east of Amarillo. […]
And here is the second day of the Route 66 trip. Same starting point – sunny Union County – this time even earlier in the dawn. Button copy in New Mexico is very hard to find. This example, on old US-66, might be the only one left in the state. What do we have here? Classic state-named US shields … put up sometime between September and November of 2009! In [...]
Pictures of a trip from November, 2009. Kevin Trinkle and I poked around some of Colorado before taking a trip through New Mexico, down to Route 66, and eastward to Texas. Here is the first day, and it involves no Route 66 whatsoever. Just Colorado and New Mexico. Here’s sunset on the first day, on Johnson Mesa – New Mexico state highway 72 just east of Raton. […]
Let us look at some Iceland photos from the fourth day, and even the unofficial fifth, as that was basically one morning of photos, and the rest of the time spent blazing our way back to the airport. A reflecting lake on a foggy morning. Blue skies, white clouds. High clouds with the fisheye lens. Sunset. The majestic body of water in the foreground is nothing but a small stream [...]
more photos from Iceland – here is the third day, including the legendary Puffin Road! Eighteen percent? That’s nothing – try 43% later in the day! Infinite regression of sheep. Strange tower at sunset. Behold the northern lights. From on top of a mountain pass, with a terrifying opaque fog creeping up behind us – we outraced it, and we got this perfect view! Green rainbow. […]
The second day of Iceland photos, from September of 2008. This is why they call it Iceland. Jökulsárlón – a glacial lake, with bits of glacier always breaking off and floating into the sea. This is the first thing in the morning. Clouds above Jökulsárlón, in the first rays of dawn. Dettifoss – the biggest waterfall in Europe! […]
now for some actual Iceland, after Daniel Brim and I landed… here’s Iceland day 1. this turns out to be the least exciting day, as far as pictures go, but hey you get to hear about how we got the door nearly blown off the rental car. Wait, you did what!!?? Yeap, the wind in the Iceland, it’s something to behold. Must have been a constant 100 mph… I needed [...]
