Fancy an Astro Burger?

My grainy black and white images of the sun baked southern California desert have been well received thus far,  so I will share a few more before dabbling in something else.

One of those rare places on the edge of the Mojave that have survived.  It obviously wasn't very busy, but was open.  I am not sure if this is the original incantation of this place or not.  Who knows what it may have been in years past?  The closest place with a zip code is Boron, CA.  I had actually stopped to investigate a shuttered motel on the other side of the street, but couldn't leave without checking this place out.

The motel ended up not being as photogenic as I had hoped for.  This was mostly due to the wind and huge amount of grit blowing through the air. On top of being a bit uncomfortable, I really didn't want to sandblast my camera.  Maybe another day?

If anyone wants to know my how I have processed these last few images, just ask in the comments.
