Oz

DSCF6753-2“And then I went to visit my sister in the states and all of a sudden it was just like, it’s like… it’s like the movie Wizard of Oz when all of a sudden it changes from Black and White to glorious Technicolor.” ~~ John Mahoney, actor

For some reason, this image reminded me of The Wizard Of Oz, hence the title and quote.

Please visit Photos By Emilio for the color version that looks nothing like Oz! Or Kansas!

So come on girl, what do you say?
We head for 11 south in my Chevrolet
Hop in the back, it ain’t no crime
If I get to know all of your tan lines

There are so many small towns you pass through in southern Utah. I believe this was Parowan, due north of Brian Head and Zion. What attracted me enough to stop were the colors. So why post in black and white? Because I think it works just as well in monochrome. But, please, visit Photos By Emilio and you can decide for yourself. Color? Or Monochromia!

Blessed

Kanosh Barn b & w Nik

“If someone as blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will?” ~~ Ross Perot

This is in honor of my friend Teri, whom I’ve never met! But I enjoy her photography. That has to count for something. She posted an image of a red barn last week. I liked her red barn. This is my response. My homage. I did not have a red barn so I made it black and white. Use your imagination. Then go visit her site. Then go visit my site to see what color this black and white red barn really is.

Kingman Crossing
April 17, 2016

My wife flew to Beijing (the one in China) last weekend. Her flight left at 5 am on Sunday morning so I dropped her at the airport at 3 am and then, since I was already awake and in the car, I drove to Kingman (the one in Arizona) and then to points even further east on Route 66.

“…You’ll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona; don’t forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino

Won’t you, get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route 66.”
