Royal Auto, Lubbock Texas

This is from a photo taken in Lubbock, Texas in 1999. I scanned the photo and then painted over it using ArtRage for the iPad. It’s a kind of a boring part of the county if you’re looking for things to do; however, the light and the landscape are amazing. I once saw the moon rise over the freeway in Amarillo and it was absolutely remarkable how big it looked.

What was I doing in Lubbock? Just passing through on a cross country road trip. I think I was on my way to Albuquerque. I don’t really remember much about Lubbock, except for the the Buddy Holly memorial that spells his name wrong.
