Two Guns was one of numerous tourist traps along the now abandoned US Route 66 between Winslow and Flagstaff. At one time it had a campground, gas station, and a zoo. When Interstate 40 arrived, Two Guns went into decline and is now a ghost town. Its major feature is this water tower, depicting an early, somewhat angry proprietor named Two Guns Miller. Although time has taken its toll on the stereotypical figure on the tank, I try to make the past live again by placing part of the tower in the lower left portion of my frame, and devoting most of the image to the billowing clouds that, with a bit of imagination, bear at least a passing resemblance to gun smoke.
