Like a cowboy version of Paul Bunyan.
I love the old motel signage along
Americas highways.
Keep shooting them!

RileyRican In reply to myrnajacobs [2007-07-02 06:17:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it reminds me of a hotel where you would walk into your room and smell something bad and find a dead hooker under your bed.

in all my travels out west i have never noticed the outsiders motel. what a name? come on, that is a pretty creepy name... like it is as creepy as the perspective you gave this shot... no doubt some very questionable behaviour has gone on in the rooms of this motel... how could it not.

myrnajacobs In reply to draunaturel [2007-06-29 16:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Isn't this the weirdest name yet for a motel. It was right next to a gas station we stopped at. I keep wondering where it was now. Someplace I'd never stopped before so I think it was not on the usual freeway routes. Coming from and going to Boise, we took two lane roads so I'm thinking that is where it was located.
I loved it that the cowboy looked a bit gleeful!

draunaturel In reply to myrnajacobs [2007-06-29 17:25:26 +0000 UTC]

yes it is about the weirdest...i mean someone opening the Bates Motel might not be as weird...

strange things have always happened out on the open road.

and yes that gleeful look of the cowboy adds to the surreal scene.

i am really glad you got to be there.

Excellent! Reminds me of 'the cowboy' in Mulholland Drive ('Now...did you answer cause you thought that's what I wanted to hear, or did you think about what I said and answer cause you truly believe that to be right?'!
Good eye and nice editing

This is outstanding! Reminds me of the old-time motels, something you would see along Route 66 in the late 50's. Outstanding angle. Love it, love it, love it!!!!

myrnajacobs In reply to pastseeker [2007-06-26 20:04:53 +0000 UTC]

It was (is) along route 80 I think or else ... hmmmm maybe Nevada. Now I can't remember. The motel itself was closed.

Awesome shot. Really brought back memories of when I was a child. They made neat motels back then. Huge horses rearing into the sky was a big fav of mine. Sometimes we saw all sorts of animals and a mirad of odd things. Neat memories.
