Lomography Photos - Rainbow Rock Shop

Rainbow Rock Shop - Holbrook, Arizona

I'm wrapping up this series of Lomography Photos using my Diana camera and shot along Route 66 at The Rainbow Rock Shop in Holbrook, Arizona.  The hand-painted signs are classic, not to mention the amazing concrete dinosaurs.  We thoroughly browsed the exterior and interior of the store and met Adam Luna Alexander, the very kind and humble owner and creator of the concrete dinosaurs.  Anne and I really valued our interaction with Adam and we came away not only with some beautiful tangible artifacts from our visit, but also a special heightened experience with this place.  If you pass through Holbrook, be sure to stop by the Wigwam Motel and Rainbow Rock Shop!

Anne at The Wigwam Motel - Holbrook, Arizona

The next stop where I snapped a few photos with my Diana camera was in Holbrook, Arizona at The Wigwam Motel.  The Wigwam Motel, along with the Blue Swallow Motel is, in my opinion, another quintessential Route 66 stop.  Anne and I arrived later in the evening and lucked out in securing a room / teepee without having called ahead of time for a reservation.  We got to talking with the nice woman managing the motel who turned out to be one of the daughters of the original owner / creator of The Wigwam Motel.  After checking in for the evening we decided to buy a ceramic ornament of a teepee that is painted similarly to the motel teepees as a little reminder of our time there.
