Last Couple from the road trip home.  The Ranch House Cafe was on a stop somewhere past Roswell, NM.  A few buildings and the sign was all that was left of this road stop.  The cafe looked like it was out of commission for the better part of 10-15 years.

The old cabin was along the route home, had to shoot from the car because the wind storm that was coming in was pushing 40mph + winds that made getting out of the car not a hot idea.  Unless I wanted to have my teeth whitened by sand blasting.

So I am hanging out with my buddy Jeff Lynch at his Texas Landscape Safari right now and it is a blast.  The places out here are unreal and if you haven’t been you need to come out here and let Jeff show you around, because if you don’t know where you are going you would never find these places.  There will by more post once I find time to get all these great shots finished (maybe a few by the end of the evening).

The shot above was from the road trip out here, came across this abandoned lot that still had the Motel sign out front.  For some reason I just love these old signs.

Caught these to set of petroglyphs in AZ at the Petrified Forest.  You are not allowed to get near these rocks anymore due to people vandalizing and unstable rock slides in the area so I had to drop the D700 into DX mode to give me a bit more reach.

BTW if my images look funny, my MacBook tool a dive on me on the way out here and I have not been able to color calibrate, so just enjoy the pretty colors :)

More images to come soon…
