Blue Swallow (Tucumcari, NM - Route 66)

I took yesterday off from posting for one simple reason: I didn't feel that great. So I am making up for it today by posting two photos. They are both of the famous Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, NM, along Route 66. The first was taken one evening while there with many other Route 66 authors and artists, celebrating at the annual Route 66 celebration in Tucumcari. The next was taken the next morning. In the first shot, notice the full moon behind the clouds, and the reflection in the camera's mirror of the neon sign that is hanging upside down between the building and the moon. Both are from production ... nothing has been altered from the original shot (as is the case with 99% of my photography that you will see).
