Motel Sign - Yucca, AZ

About the artwork

This photograph captures a weathered red “MOTEL” sign standing alone in the wide open desert landscape of Yucca, Arizona. The peeling paint and rusted metal tell a story of decades gone by, evoking the golden age of roadside travel along iconic highways like Route 66. In the distance, rugged mountains rise under a deep blue sky, adding to the sense of isolation and timelessness.

Photographed using kite aerial photography, this image offers a unique perspective on Americana and roadside history. Perfect for lovers of vintage signage, road trip culture, and desert landscapes, this piece brings a nostalgic and adventurous spirit to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Choosing the Right Surface

Each print surface offers its own strengths:

• Metal for the most vivid, contemporary presentation, with glossy or matte finishes.
• Canvas for classic look and value in larger pieces, always matte.
• Paper for flexibility and accessibility in smaller sizes, with a matte/luster surface.

Metal – The photograph is infused directly into a sleek aluminum panel, creating a vibrant, high definition finish with incredible durability. These are waterproof, scratch resistant, and ready to hang with a modern, frameless look or set in a high quality float frame. Available with a glossy or matte finish.

Canvas – Printed on artist grade canvas and stretched over a solid wood frame, canvas prints offer a ready to hang, gallery style presentation. Canvas has a beautiful matte finish and looks best when paired with a float frame.

Paper – Produced on premium photo paper with a smooth, luster finish that enhances color and detail. Perfect for framing under glass.
