An old abandoned motel at the Salton Sea in CA. I took this picture in 2008, I believe...and now that motel is no longer there. It got torn down. I'm so happy I was able to capture it before it was gone!!!

Another subject I can't resist. Nice treatment of this classic architecture, looks just right. v/f
Martin Davey
great colour palette, really suits the subject well. The processing works a treat and having most of the image out of focus is brave and totally works! L

This really is a fantastic image indeed!! One of my favs. Wonderful in every way and so many things I could explain why I love this image. You really have caught the essence of the America in one really incredible scene. Colour, burred DOF look, tone and texture even down to the dissed font on 'motel office' all the elements come together for a really impressive and thought provoking marvel..Stunner!!
Laurie Search replied:

I just saw this in the texture contest. What a great piece of Americana! The texture treatment makes me feel as though I am glimpsing back in time, and I am because it isn't there any more. Fantastic, v/f !
