Some signage on the side of a building caught my attention the very second we were so far down the street that a u-turn was required.
Those 6s are a bit wonky, aren’t they?

wiener man
I’m taking the day off. Feel free to write your own jokes about this man and his wiener.

hill-top
A long time ago, in a different career, I was sent to Victorville to help out with some stuff at the transit system there. At the time, I thought it was a Very Great Honor to have been selected for the task. But then later, when I got fired from that job, I thought maybe I’d been sent out there as punishment.
That was prior to my becoming a photographer, so I completely missed the scenic possibilities of this hilltop o’ stuff.
Good thing I got a chance to return.

best price
This was one of my favorite places on the Arizona part of Route 66: competing souvenir stores, with large (very) signage throwing shade at each other. Curiously, though, they each promised the “best price” so perhaps there was some price-fixing going on?

trash
I know you’ve seen about a billion pictures of Cadillac Ranch (and if you haven’t just go ahead and Google ’em).
At this point, those old cars are mostly thick layers of spray paint instead of the namesake Cadillacs. And what the usual photos of the place don’t show you is the trash barrels that are perpetually full of empty spray-paint cans.
RELATED: if you position yourself downwind from the car-painters and their spray paint, it’s possible to get a contact high. I think.
