Route 66 is the original mother road. There are so many little attractions from end to end. These guardian lions are near the Amboy Motel. #route66 #amboy #California #guardianlions #Chinese #roadside #attraction #photography #fljckr #darktable flic.kr/p/2rsRC7q

Marble guardian lion in black and white. Lion is Chinese in style and sitting on a pedestal with the left paw over a sphere with triangle pattern. There are little offerings scattered in the nooks and crannies. The desert stretches out behind it with a distant mountain range barely visible at the horizon.

Sitting in the desert, going nowhere fast
Stuck in traffic, how long will this thing last?
I'm around the corner from Roy's Diner, a train is in the way
I should have stayed inside longer, but now I'll have to pay
It's desperately hot right here, I will have you know
Geez I don't like this desert heat, I would rather have the snow

I was sorry to hear about the death of Albert Okura, who bought the desert town of Amboy, CA in 2005, and restored and re-lit the fantastic Roy's Cafe sign that it's known for. Here's a podcast episode I produced about Albert in 2016.

A few photos of Amboy, which became a ghost town in California when the interstate opened. I stopped for a few photos on the way to Twentynine Palms back in July. #Amboy #Unset1965 #UnsetMotel

A desert highway at sunset. The words Route 66 are painted on both lanes. The photo is taken from the exact center of the highway. There are no cars visible along the long path of the road.A photo of a balding white man with a grey beard and glasses, wearing a white t-shirt with an unbuttoned floral shirt over. He is looking out at the horizon. A desert is behind him.A picture of a balding white man with a white beard and glasses, wearing a white t-shirt and an open unbuttoned floral shirt. The sun is setting behind, making the clouds a vivid orange and yellow.A long stretch of empty desert highway at sunset; the photo is taken from a photographer standing on the median. The words Route 66 are painted on both lanes. In the distance are a few desolate buildings, and a sign that says Roy’s.
