round beds, you say?

…and this begins a bunch of posts with photos from my collaborative Route 66 project. Since October 2021, photographer VC Torneden and I have worked on a project we call The Other Side; we’re documenting the overlooked parts of Route 66, the small (and dying) towns, odd signage, and anything else that captures our attention.

It’s important to note that here in Barstow, you can find remodeled rooms AND round beds in the very same location. That’s a travel win, right there. Possibly.

…and here’s a scene from a dramatically-lit chapel inside the cathedral in Siracusa.

a wiring project

We saw these gentlemen sitting outside, rewiring a light fixture. And like nearly everyone we encountered in Sicily, they were more than happy to have a chat with us, even though there wasn’t a common language.

and across the way, the city wakes up

Here’s another image from our early-morning photo expedition to the Malecon – this view is looking west across the bay to downtown Havana.

a hint of a rainbow

Early morning in Havana, with a tiny sliver of a rainbow. Those clouds were moving toward us and shortly we had to make a dash to shelter when the rain came.
