March 2025 - Standing on the corner
About the Image(s)
Not the greatest photo but another memory image, I’m afraid, but what a memory!
This is one of the most famous corners in the world on the most famous road (Route 66). From 'Take it easy' by ’The Eagles’ - "Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona".
What I did:
As usual, I've kept any manipulation to a minimum

Very cool shot and thank you for brining back memories of the track which I will want to play on CD as I have a collection of their records on CDs and actual LPs. Posted: 03/08/2025 06:21:35
Glad it brings back good memories. A group that was often on our playlist for that holiday. Posted: 03/10/2025 08:07:01
I love that song, Steven, but have never seen a photo of this corner! Great vantage point emphasizing Route 66, with the corner building leaving no doubt as to the location. I was wondering if you were going to post a Route 66 photo for this month's topic. Posted: 03/08/2025 12:54:30
Am I that predictable Barbara? :)
I'm sure that many many more people will know the song and the corner but not have been there. It was quite an experience. Posted: 03/10/2025 08:09:54

Another Route 66, thank you for sharing. I am not familiar the song but heard a lot Route 66 special move to Texas.
People driving so respectful to the pedestrian even no 'Stop' sign or traffic light. Not seen so often nowadays. Posted: 03/12/2025 05:49:28

Hi Steven, great POV, with the sign in the centre of the intersection, people crossing, and the old truck adds to the story. Posted: 03/23/2025 04:58:52
