Along the quiet stretch of U.S. Highway 180 near Williams, Arizona—just south of the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park—sits the Grand Canyon Outpost. Once a trading post serving travelers heading toward the canyon, this building now stands still in time, its rustic wooden siding, wagon wheel trim, and overgrown landscaping echoing an earlier era of western Americana.
Captured in infrared, this black-and-white image brings out the textures of the aged wood and dramatic Arizona sky. Though parts of the property have been repurposed as loggings, the storefront itself remains a beautifully preserved shell of the past—a symbol of the roadside culture that once defined Route 66 and its surrounding highways.
This image is part of my ongoing Americana Project, documenting buildings and landscapes that echo past history.
