Jurgen, congratulations on your top finish in the ROUTE 66 ICONS contest in the "Roadside" group. Great that you captured some of the icons on the other side of the street, as well as the Route 66 highway sign painted on the driveway. It really gives a sense of this famous highway as it routed through Tucumcari. The blue sky and fluffy clouds are magnificent.
