I once drive a Honda station wagon on that road all the way across Nevada to Utah average just under 100 mph. Surprised that car didn't blow-up. Great highway to just let'er rip.
At the risk of being accused of a Flickr-esque comment (little substance, doesn't take things forward / add to the experience etc), that is a beautiful picture.
"Flickr-esque" all you want, Patrick. I find nothing wrong with something being beautiful in a photograph. Photography uses light to define a moment, and the fact that we respond to that moment...well, what the hell. It can be ugly or pretty so long as it is well seen. I believe Robert Adams said that, or something like it.
I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA.
I shoot these cameras and formats:
----Note: --
I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.
