Amboy is a ghost town, a reminder of what Route 66 used to be. Roy's Motel and Cafe stands alone along the highway under a rising moon. Its lights are no longer visible from miles away. There is not much else in Amboy -- a gas station, airstrip, garage, school, church and post office. Only the post office is still in business. The owner of a California restaurant chain recently purchased the town. He hopes to someday restore the site to its '50s ambience. Meanwhile, Amboy waits in the gathering darkness, with only a full moon for light, a vintage gas stop frozen in time. I made this image with mood and mood alone in mind. Lonely. Forgotten. Empty. Desolate. It’s all here in Amboy at dusk.
