30 Days of Neon - Jerry's Mexican American Cafe

Gallup, NM, a mecca for the neon lover & the Route 66 lover. Gallup was just chuck full of cafes and motels. Sadly, Lovely Wife & I were pretty tired from the days drive and we were also chuck full of Mexican food, otherwise we would have tried this place. Since we were so tired, I didn't take the proper time to set up the tripod and collect several fine shots of the night-time neon. I tried holding my breath and being very very still. Of course, it didn't always work.

 I think it odd how the various parts of the arrow have been blackened in an attempt to make the arrow a series of vertical lines. We also snapped this night-time shot from the other side.
