Echoes of Route 66

A rusted automobile stands beneath the wide Arizona sky near historic Route 66 in Petrified Forest National Park. Stripped of its wheels, glass, and much of its interior, the weathered car has become a roadside monument to an earlier age of American travel. Telephone poles disappearing across the open desert strengthen the connection to the highway’s past, while the vehicle’s long morning shadow stretches across the earth. #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #PetrifiedForestNationalPark #PaintedDesert #Arizona #VintageCar #AbandonedCar #RustyCar #HistoricVehicle #AutomotiveHistory #RoadsideAmerica #AmericanSouthwest #DesertLandscape #NationalPark #EngelPhotography
