Derrick Inn Motel
A classic roadside motel with retro signage and low-slung mid-century buildings set against wide West Texas skies. Shoot the neon sign at blue hour, capture long perspectives of the parking bay and rooms for nostalgic travel images, and use sunrise/sunset for dramatic skies. Easily visible from TX‑137 with roadside parking; exteriors are public but ask permission before photographing interiors or guests. Weekday mornings are quiet; summers are hot—plan for heat and strong midday contrast.
