The "old" Route 61 near Centralia, Pennsylvania. The image was heavily distorted using a variety of filters and coloring techniques to achieve a "post-apocalyptic" feel
The cracks and warping of the road are caused by an underground mine fire, which led to nearly all of the residents of Centralia to be relocated to another area. Route 61 now has a winding road which bypasses the area.
