Various scenes through the upper elevations of springtime Colorado. Watch in HiDef at Full Screen.

This scenic highway operated by the National Park Service, stretches 469 miles from Virginia to North Carolina. I recently drove the road just past peak fall colors but they were awesome nevertheless.

Fall colors have arrived along Virginia’s Blue Ridge Parkway.

Utah’s Extraterrestrial Highway

Highway 24 is a fascinating stretch of remoteness and anomalies. I’ve never been to Mars but images of its landscape are remindful of the sandstone quirks along Highway 24.

The Long Road To And From Toroweap

Half the fun of photographing a special place like the Grand Canyon is the drive and adventure to get there. Especially when it’s a remote location such as Toroweap. The drive from Southern Utah into Northern Arizona presents some classic western scenes along the highway where I could picture John Wayne mounting a Calvary charge. (He actually filmed some great movies in this area).

You can drive up to 45 MPH on this stretch of dirt road.

About 20 MPH here.

Zero MPH. I actually decided to back up here. When you’re 70 miles from the nearest town, you don’t take chances. This was at the end anyways.

VIEW AT NIGHT OF COUNTRY ROAD IN CALIFORNIA

Driving and taking pictures is a skill you better have been born with. It’s not something you want to learn on the job. Very dangerous. I believe I was born with the skill or that I get bored when driving through the countryside. You can get creative by using a slow shutter speed while your vehicle is moving. You can also try this as a passenger. Preferable.
