The NANPA nature photography conference ended today with a final keynote by well-known National Geographic photographer, Tim Laman, who related his years of experience documenting the endangered wildlife in New Guinea, Indonesia and Borneo. Specializing in photographing bird life in the rain forest canopy, he climbs up to the top using bow & arrow to pull up ropes. After building a small blind, he often sits day after day just to get a few minutes glimpse of rare hornbills or birds of paradise - several varieties never before photographed.
Below is a picture of the El Vado Motel, claimed to be the "purest Route 66 motel surviving". Unfortunately, the other claim "70 years of continuous hospitality on Route 66" has been interrupted. Built in 1937, the motel is located near the Rio Grande River west of the downtown area.
