This image was featured in the group, Route 66 – The Mother Road in July, August, & September 2008. ROUTE 66 IMAGE COLLECTION An old gas station located on Route 66 in Williams, Arizona is a reminder of a bygone era. First commissioned in 1926, Route 66 was the first highway to link Chicago with Los Angeles. By the 1930’s is was THE way west. John Steinbeck penned it “the mother road” in his work, Grapes of Wrath. Even though many parts of the original road are now gone, there are still remants of Route 66 left to enjoy for those of us who still appreciate the spirit of a good road trip! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This image is not for sale.

SEE THE CAROUSEL IMAGE COLLECTION RIDE THE CAROUSEL FOR 25 CENTS! No, that is not a price from yesteryear but the price today for a ride on the Kit Carson County Carousel in Burlington, Colorado which is located just off Interstate 70 on the Colorado/Kansas border. Although there were nearly 4,000 wooden carousels carved in the U.S. between 1885 and 1930, there are fewer than 150 still in existence. The one in Burlington is a magnificent example of the menegerie carousel which includes other animals in addition to horses. There are 46 hand-carved animals mounted on a 45-foot diameter platform. The largest animals are on the outside row, each with intricate carvings ranging from a giraffe with a snake twined around its neck to a armed gnome perched behind the saddle of a zebra! This carousel was manufactured in 1905 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC). Carousels made by PTC are identified by numbers in the order they were made. Therefore, the one in Burlington is identified as the PTC No. 6 which indicates that it was the sixth (of 74) manufactured. The PTC No. 6 is a 3-row ride and the animals do not move up and down. Currently housed in a 12-sided wooden building, this 100+ year old carousel has been completely restored and still has original paint on both the cotton muslin scenery panels and on the animals. The PTC No. 6 was originally run by the 1902 General Electric Induction Motor. Amazingly this motor has never been rebuilt and still powers the carousel on special occasions at more than 10-12 miles per hour! The average carousel has a speed of 8 mph. The PTC No. 6 was designated a National Historic Site in 1979, then designed a National Historic Landmark in l987, and is the only one in Colorado that you can ride! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

ROUTE 66 IMAGE COLLECTION This 1928 gas station is often called a “doll house” because of its cottage style design. Located in McLean, Texas this is the first Phillips Petroleum Company retail outlet built outside Oklahoma. Renovated in 1992, it is now owned and and maintained by the Texas Route 66 Association. The town of McClean is working to maintain the early look of the Route 66 era and it is a not-to-missed stop if you are in the area. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This image is not for sale.

This taxidermist-mounted, full-size mountain goat was featured near a tent in Alabama along the route for the World’s Longest Yard Sale. He was a magnificent animal perched on his own little mountain. He rates high as one of the quirkest things I saw for sale that day. But with his $1,000+ price tag, I had to leave him behind. For those of you who haven’t heard of it, The World’s Longest Yard Sale is held every August and stretches from Gadsden, Alabama to Defiance, Ohio along Highway 127.

In all the years I have been photographing the deer around our farm, I have never seen this. Usually there is velvet on the antlers or the antlers are slick. However, this buck had bloody antlers from where he obviously had been vigorously rubbing against trees to remove the velvet. Photo taken on Buck’s Mountain near Cave Spring, Georgia.

This image was featured in the Neon Heaven group on March 18, 2009. ROUTE 66 IMAGE COLLECTION On a stretch of Route 66 in Shamrock, Texas the once famous Tower Conoco Station and U-Drop Inn & Cafe now houses the local chamber of commerce. Built in 1936, the building represents the art-deco style that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The Neon lines are lit day and night. During its heyday, the local newspaper reported that the cafe at the U-Drop Inn was “the swankiest of swank eating places” and “the most up-to-date edifice of its kind on U.S. Highway 66 between Oklahoma City and Amarillo”. “Delicious Food Courteously Served” quickly became its motto. The building with its twin towers was a landmark to the many highway travelers on Route 66. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

A sunny afternoon on the Berry College campus north of Rome, Georgia shows the idyllic setting at Winshape Retreat. These spire-topped buildings have red-tiled roofs over white-painted brick and resemble those often found in the French countryside. The Normandy Dairy which was built by Berry College students in the 1930s with funding from Henry Ford, President Herbert Hoover, and others. Years later the dairy moved to another location on campus and these brick and timber buildings sat in a state of disuse until Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-A, through his WinShape Foundation, gave these buildings a second chance at a new life. Today the dairy complex serves as a conference center known as the WinShape Retreat. The original structures – from milking barns to silos – have now been cleaned and rehabilitated. In the old milking barn the tile shines and wood gleams in its new service as a beautiful dining hall. The calf barn is a marvelous reception hall and welcome center. A wonderful example of preservation, the original architecture remains intact and care was taken not to compromise the historic buildings when modern systems were added.

An update journal has been posted to …
An update journal has been posted to let you know that Facebook has reverted back to its old terms of service while they “resolve the issues”. ^^^^ February 17, 2009 Update: Read the article on the PCWorld site, Facebook Owns Your Business Data which was posted on February 17, 2009. User beware if you are a Facebook member! They have recently changed their terms of service and now have rights to everything you have posted, including your writing, artwork, and photography! Even if you delete it all today, they retain rights to everything you have posted up to that point. Your profile can be kept in Facebook’s archives indefinitely even though you are no longer a member. I saw this disturbing news on several blogs this morning. Here’s a link to one of the sites. Then if you want further confirmation, go to Facebook’s terms page and see it for yourself. If you are a member of Facebook, be very careful what you write as it could possibly come back to haunt you one day if Facebook decides to publish it. Before it is published they have the right to (and I quote from the terms) “modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute” it. If you want to retain sole copyright of your writing, artwork or photography, DO NOT UPLOAD IT TO FACEBOOK.* What is currently uploaded now can be used in any way Facebook deems appropriate, including sublicensing it. As a member of Facebook, I have used it in the past as a social network to stay in touch with friends and family and only recently to market my work. I don’t have many images posted to my profile, but now that work has been sublicensed to Facebook forever. I never join a site without reading the terms. These new changes to the terms makes me so angry. I was never given an opportunity to opt out of the site before these changes went into effect. I feel as though I have been duped.
