Failed Effort, Shamrock, TX

Failed effort's are rife on the old portions of Rt.66. Mostly to no fault of the owner. When some of Rt 66 was incorporated into I-40,a modern highway, there was little incentive to use the old road. In most cases businesses failed due to lack of trade.

A very beautiful frontal view on this interesting building! Love the tones of the building and the mood of the image V

These old relics make such great subjects to shoot and you have cashed in on that opportunity so well.

Superb image! V

This straight on view is quite compelling. Your processing shows the worn out textures and other details in a way that is both beautiful and shows the wear and tear and character of this once vibrant business. ~BV~

A failed effort perhaps, but a great attraction for photographers and others. V

Dismal and bleak, accentuated by the broken sign on top. Your processing work is perfect for this. "V"
