Description

Good day everyone! Here is a shot I took on the way up Route 66 to Oatman in Arizona. This road is long, very curvy, and there is nothing around for miles (including traffic) which is why I was able to get this shot! Enjoy! :)

EXIF Information:
Nikon D70
Nikkor 18-70mm
Polarizing Filter
18mm @ 1/160 sec @ f/9

C/C is appreciated! Thanks for your thoughts! :)

Love the vivid colors but think it would look really nice in bw, maybe give it a try?

Also trying to crop from left a little not having it centered, or?

How come we don't get skyscapes like that in the uk!
And double yellow lines! - so you can't park in the midle of the road between 8am and 6pm? Hmmm - seems we may have more differences than just driving on the other side of the road!

Excellent shot. Love the composition and colours, but there appears to be a dark area in the center-top of the sky (from the lens hood?). An perfect example of how to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
