literally driving into a sunset
Elk City, Oklahoma. Their personal oil derrick 
historical route 66
the beginning to the couple of following pictures. Chris and I both felt so overwhelmed by the sudden contrast of the Oklahoma/Texas landscape to that of 'the East'. that we pulled over on route 40 to take some pics. (those that follow)..... It is truly 'un-capturable' on film.... atleast with both of our minimal photographic talent. The crevices and slopes of the land were unlike anything i have ever witnessed. Although i am glad we solely passed through oklahoma... the lanscape was anything but boring. I was just informed by Chris that most of these were actually taken in Texas.. but it was literally right across the border line... soooo you get the point.
Proclaimed on the oklahoma sign:"The biggest cross in the Western World".
I must say... i do not dis- believe it. It was made out of pure sheet metal. I thought it was worth the picture. And the sun decided to contribute with the dramatizing effect... so i thanked it.
The night roads from oklahoma to Amarillo, Texas
Amarillo to Santa Rosa. This one was actually taken of the clock radio as Chris was driving. I felt like it visually encompassed that evening perfectly.
