My other blog is more about the story that goes with the photo. On this site the photo is the story.
Thank you for stopping by my site. Without your visits there would be no incentive to continue posting. So, having you here and reading your comments is the highlight of my day.
I regret that time does not always allow me to return visits to everyone who stops by, but, I will certainly do my best to get to everyone. I will definitely answer any questions you leave me.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
Bela foto! beijos,chica
ReplyDeletewouldn't it be great to see it before & after. we really enjoyed the route 66 recently. (:
ReplyDeleteThese old quonset buildings were available after WW II. Perhaps that is when the Zephyr station was built? Unfortunately the "service" station is rapidly becoming historic. Gas stations no longer change tires, do tune ups, install belts and hoses. It now requires an appointment at a mechanic or dealer.
ReplyDeleteI love anything Route 66! We've been on it in various states in the past but would love to do the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteOne of these summers, I'm going to take a road trip along the road. Thanks for the awesome picture, reminding me of one of my goals.
ReplyDeleteI would love to travel the entire route and photograph every remaining landmark. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I did most of Route 66 as a kid with my grand parents. I don't remember very much of it though. The California and Arizona part I know fairly well because we like to spend a lot of time in the desert during the cooler days of winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting old shed! It is beautiful in the same way my father' old shed is beautiful. Great photograph!
ReplyDeleteI would love to travel route 66. It would take me forever because I would have to stop and take photos of things like this.
ReplyDeleteI wish we'd traveled the old Route 66...we've been on lots of the remaining parts (maybe most)....
ReplyDeleteI love the fading blue color! Great photo.
ReplyDeleteOld,dilapidated buildings always look interesting and attractive and full of stories. What I don't understand is why the same isn't true of my house when it gets in a muddle.
ReplyDeletewas this a station? How odd. Well that´s a long time ago I guess. Nice choise for NF Inspiring Photo
