  Fun stuff Richard! I like the juxta' of decay and technology in #1, and the peek around the corner in #3.
  I like to shoot flea markets (swap meet here) too... they're a target-rich environment!

  If it's authentic, one wonders how a Route 66 sign
  made it's way to Spain.

  Almost certainly a knock-off, I'd guess. The closest thing to genuine would be if a Spanish tourist in the US bought it in a souvenir shop there, but even that's a stretch.

  I like 1 for the conversion and 3 for the reflection amidst the clutter
  
  Both very engaging
  
  Nice work Richard

  Good stuff, Richard. I think your B&W conversion work is exceptionally good. I like the strong blacks and heightened contrast ....both typical to your work and amongst your strong suits.
  
  Take care,

  I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

  Thanks Rags and Tom. I also have some color reflection shots from that outing that I'll probably post in a few days. And yeah, I do like to emphasize the blacks in monochrome. Seems more dramatic that way.
