These murals above the display windows of the recently closed Maisel’s Indian Trading Post on Old Route 66 in Downtown Albuquerque. The murals depict the Navajo Yoi-bi-choi Dance and the Corn Dance.

Love these.
Thanks, Bruce.
Great to see them “archived “ here…
Thanks, Susan.
Thanks, Cindy.
What beautiful murals! Thank you for sharing them with all of us.
Thank you for visiting, Juanita.
Rt 66, fascinating!
Hi Holly. Old Route 66, now I-40, goes through Albuquerque. The Pan American Freeway, I-25, goes through Albuquerque, also. They cross at the Big-I interchange.
It’s such a fascinating old road going east. We rode Route 66 on our motocycle. It was on out bucket list.
That is really cool. I’d like to do a photo tour of Old 66 some day. There’s a section of Old 66 in Tijeras canyon east of Albuquerque that has a rumble strip that plays America The Beautiful when you drive 45 mph on it. Here’s a video someone driving on it: https://youtu.be/6l2vSsavVZs.
That’s awesome Timothy , thanks for the great link. 66 is truly an American landmark. I hope you get to take that photo tour, it would be amazing. That would make an excellent book subject with those photographs, I’d put that right on my coffee table!
I’ve made several trips west on I-40 in the past few years that I had planned to take some time photograph some of the dissapearing landmarks on Old 66, but then got off schedule and didn’t have time. I’m going to have to make Old 66 the destination with no schedule to make it work for a photo tour.
Very interesting !https://media.giphy.com/media/3o6fJdYXEvMa5ZmlI4/giphy.gif
Thanks, Harry. Merry Christmas!
Wow!! This is so cool, Timothy!
Thanks, Amy Rose.
Cool images. Thanks for sharing them.
Yuo are welcome. Thanks for visiting, Rabirius.
Those are beautiful murals, Tim.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Beautiful murals, I hope they will remain on the building with new owners!
Hi Tiffany. I don’t think the building is for sale at the moment. I don’t know what they are going to do with it.
Hope the murals get saved!
I hope so too. Thanks, Teri!
These murals should be preserved, somehow! They are fabulous.
I hope they don’t tear the place down, and the murals with it.
Hi Resa. I don’t think they will be tearing the bulding down anytime soon. It would depend on what they do with the building as to what will become of the murals.
I hope the best for the murals. They are quite wonderful, and it’s like heritage upon heritage. If that makes sense to anyone else?
Makes perfect sense.
