Route 66

"I positioned my lens to capture the Route 66 sign in Arizona, its black-and-white form a striking contrast against the dark expanse, embodying the highway’s mythic legacy. The shield’s weathered edges and crisp lettering spoke of countless journeys etched into its surface, a silent witness to the highway’s storied past. The monochrome palette heightened its graphic power, drawing the eye to the iconic “66” that defined a generation. This photograph captures the sign’s enduring allure, preserving the essence of an era where open roads beckoned, its stark beauty a tribute to the spirit of travel that once defined the Arizona tradition." — Jon Wendell
