The Road Runner Retreat Sign

• Photographer
  Elizabeth J. Holmes

Built in 1962, the Road Runner's Retreat Restaurant and Service Station sign is an iconic symbol along an old stretch of Route 66 along the Mojave Desert in Amboy, California.

I am a New York based fine art photographer specializing in architecture, street, and landscape photography. My work is rooted in my love of history and architecture and the inspiration I find in cultural and vanishing landscapes. I have photographed disappearing ghost towns in the American West; the Art Deco Historic District in South Beach, Miami; iconic scenes along Route 66; vanishing storefronts in New York City; and rural landscapes along Long Island’s East End. My work has been featured in domestic and international exhibitions, and included in corporate and private
