Route Map of the US, This map shows all the routes I took during a 9-week visit in 2002	The White House, I spent 4 days in Washington D.C. on speaking engegements, plus a few hours for sightseeing	Monterey Aquarium, Monterey Bay is famous for its marine life. The Monterey Aquarium is also world class.	Mojave Graveyard, Where do unwanted aircraft go to die? To a desert airfield at Mojave, California, that's where.
The Bible Belt, This is the sign greeting you as you enter Clinton, Oklahoma. It advertises 24 churches for a town of only 9,000 people. There is even space set aside for 6 more...	Oklahoma Oil, These oilwells dot the landscape of the Oklahoma Panhandle.	Pool Closed, Stating the obvious....???	Route 66 Motel, This is Glancy's Motel in Clinton, Oklahoma, an original Route 66 motel which thrived in those early days of motoring. It is still open for business and has a 'Route 66' atmosphere about it.
Sunset Ridge, This ridge in Utah makes for some wonderful sunset colours	Wind Turbines, This is just a part of a 5-mile line of wind turbines sprawled across the California skyline. Yuk.	Above BWI, This is the view from the air over Baltimore-Washington International airport. I flew from there to Oklahoma City.	Big Butte, Somewhere in Utah
Cannery Row, Cannery Row in Monterey, California. Now a popular tourist spot.	Castle for Heroes, A castle-like fire station building in Clinton, Oklahoma	Hoover Dam	Leaning Tower, This water tower has seen better days. Only in Texas.
Route 66, This is a remnant of the original Route 66, just east of Clinton, Oklahoma. It is still used as a local road.	Oklahoma City Memorial, This is the beautifully designed and tasteful memorial built to the memory of those who died during the Oklahoma City bombing.	'Weeping Jesus', This is a statue mounted outside the Oklahoma City Memorial park, dedicated to the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing	Boot Hill, Boot Hill is a theme park in Dodge City, Kansas, dedicated to the old Wild West days. The landscape all around Dodge City and western Kansas generally is spectacularly flat.
Los Alamos Mesa, This is the view coming down the long hill from Los Alamos, New Mexico	Foothills of the Rockies, This is an attractive meadow backed by mountains just west of Boulder, Colorado.	The U.S. Congress, The Capitol building in Washington D.C.	D.C. Metro, This is one of the metro stations in Washington D.C.
Mesa	Interstate I-40, This is a typical Interstate Highway, this one near Clinton, Oklahoma, the I-40	The Great Salt Lake, The Great Salt Lake of Utah. I was amazed to find a colony of seagulls on the southern shore	Panguitch, Utah, Very attractive and old shop fronts in Utah
New Orleans, This is a photo taken in passing from the Greyhound Bus I was travelling in. I travelled by bus all the way from Missouri, down to Texas for a speaking engagement in Houston, and from there up to Washington D.C. for more speaking venues. Riding Greyhound for such a long distance was - an experience definitely to be missed.	Roswell Alien, Roswell is the home of the famous UFO incident of 1948. This 'alien' is actually the dummy used in the movie 'Roswell'. It is on display at the UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico	UFO Museum, This is the 'UFO Museum and Research Center' at Roswell, New Mexico. Apart from the museum itself, it has a comprehensive library of just about every UFO publication from anywhere in the world, fully catalogued. While the museum exhibits are so-so, the library resources are really impressive and well worth the look.	The UFO Fragment, This is on display at the Roswell UFO Museum and is purported to be a fragment of the 'thing' that fell from the sky in 1948, complete with a chemical analysis from the Los Alamos Laboratory.
Roswell Diner, UFOs is the central theme of many businesses in downtown Roswell, New Mexico	Squirrel, This squirrel was fairly tame and 'posed' for this photo at Bryce Canyon, Utah	American Suburbia, This photo seemed typical to me of much of suburbia in America. This particular suburb was in Omaha, Nebraska	San Jose, An attractive public building in San Jose, California
Rural Wyoming, A rural scene in Wyoming. Notice the snow-capped mountains in the distant west	Washington Monument, The Washington Monument in Washington D.C. Notice the aircraft taking off to the right of the monument.	The Birds, A reminder of Hitchcock's movie 'The Birds'. These ones gathering outside a road house near Bryce Canyon, Utah	Rio Not So Grande, The Rio Grande River in New Mexico. A bit of a disappointment as rivers go.
