Route 66 Shack In Blue. This scene was captured along the old Route 66 near Acoma (Sky City), New Mexico. I had spent the afternoon tracing Old Route 66 from Albuquerque to Grants. It was just after a brief rainstorm. The sky was clearing rapidly, leaving behind cleanly scented air, and this wonderful blue/cyan sky. This old shack, a remnant of the old Route 66, was awash with the gentle watercolors of this delightful early evening. If you take away the casinos, these rural stretches of New Mexico remain timeless. I still smile when I reflect on the amazing experiences I enjoyed during my three years of residence in New Mexico. For a hopelessly urbane New Yorker, this was a living dream. Being in this place, at this moment, was better than any movie!
