I like the feel of this. I imagined this might be the only pay phone in town.

A local huh? :) This place is about 10 minutes from my house, and they do make one of the best (and fastest) burgers you'll ever eat.

I assume you must have been enjoying the Bosque Del Apache? It also looks like this was taken on a Sunday, as they're normally packed all day long :)

So, as for the picture? Not bad! I like the sepia treatment, but I'm almost sad that it wasn't a night shot with the blinking yellow light over the intersection, as that's been a shot I've wanted to take for a while now...

Socorro, New Mexico? I've stopped in there, years and years ago :-) I love how matter-of-fact this image is.
