Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) About 75 miles east of Amarillo, in the Texas Panhandle small town of McLean, you will find that history and nostalgia have not been forgotten. In 1927, the most famous road of them all was built through here on it's way across America to Southern California. Motels, attractions and gas stations sprang up to serve the needs of many tourists looking for fun and adventure on their travels. This early cottage style service station was the first Phillips 66 built in Texas, in 1929. Although McLean is a small town where time stands still, they are very proud to be the headquarters for the Texas Historic Route 66 Association. Even some people there can still remember that not so long ago, many travelers got their cars fixed, and "Got Their Kicks" ... On Route 66.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
