Blue Swallow

Tucumcari, New Mexico

an alternate shot, this time looking west...that's enough pix, in this gallery, from the enjoyable and informative February road trip in the troubled state...at least the Blue Swallow Motel is a success story along the declining Route 66

A walk down memory lane and exceptional exposure. A wonderful play of warm and cool colors with a wonderful late day mood. VV++

A fine, emotive shot David of this Route 66 motel...retro but strangely still relevant today

Really great with the setting sun and colors! V

This is really cool with the retro atmosphere. Lovely light too. V

Ok you had me on the 100% refrigerated air!

The name of the motel by itself is an invitation to stop there and the blue hour another one.
A superb composition.

Great colorful signage and nice with the vintage car. Does it have wi-fi?
Dennis Hoyne04-Apr-2024 02:41
A "cool" photo of this cool business.
Glenn D.04-Apr-2024 00:41
Loving those 'blue' tones to refrigerate the air.

Belle composition et superbe contre jour. V

Great evening capture and what looks like an old Packard car.

A lovely sign and a nice sunset in the background.

Very retro but once very modern. The entire shot could have been taken in decades past. VV

nice composition and lighting.V.

Although the neon sign is on, it doesn't look very open in either picture. I find the "refrigerated air" wording very interesting, perhaps a throwback to the past.
Walter Otto Koenig03-Apr-2024 17:18
Great atmosphere with this lighting and view. A fine composition David. "V"
Marcia Rules03-Apr-2024 16:56
The gentle light is playing so well in this keen composition. The sky renders a sublime backdrop to the Southwest! VVV~
Dan Greenberg03-Apr-2024 16:54
This is a great angle and one not often used. It really looks excellent with the Hudson in shade and the superb capture of the neon. ~BV~

Looks like a nice Hudson sitting there.
