The desolation of the genre
I never saw this place before it was ruins, so I don’t know what it used to be. Maybe a small motel? A roadhouse? A private residence?
Whatever it was, it’s got a lot of company. Just a little ways down the road is this abandoned motel , and back in the other direction is what’s left of the Hi-Way Cafe.
Roadside businesses seem to have fallen on hard times.

I like the tint on this shot. I’ve been doing some experiments with tints, all in LR5. There is a lot of variability available. I picked one and made a preset. That makes it easier to apply and gives consistency in a series.

Hmmm…consistency. I never thought about consistency; that might be an interesting avenue for me to explore!
