Road to Somewhere
Eastbound on Highway 190. I liked the clouds in this scene and thought I would try it in B&W.
Thanks for looking and comments,
Rudy

Very cool sky! I like the perspective, too. Nicely done image.

I agree, awesome sky and nice perspective.

Really cool layers in the clouds. Horizon feels like it's tilted CCW.

+1 Surreal looking skies.

Note: Horizon feels tilted by a few degrees.
Note: You could crop more or less of the road and change the feel to overwhelming sky with tiny road, or even in reverse crop the sky. Il all works and looks great!

The B&W really set the mood, Rudy.

Rudy,

Classic, "in the middle of the road" composition and if I ever came across this scene, I would probably try and do the same thing. This perspective is always fun and when you've got a tremendous sky like this, this is certainly worth shooting. Nice job with this and the b&w looks great.
