Default How's this for converging lines??

Took this a while back on US 50 in central Utah on a threatening day. Thought it conveys the impression of just how lonely this highway can get.

I really like it! It does look like a lonely, lonely stretch of highway!

Great shot that indeed conveys the long stretch of road. At least with a camera in hand you are always on the look out for the next shot so hopefully stay awake and not fall asleep.

Not even a tarantula in sight. Great lines.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate them. Would have answered sooner but my wife had to have surgery and this was my first chance.

...it's giving me road hypnosis just looking at it...

Nice shot. Good exposure too. Almost looks like you did some exposure blending (did you?).

Tim: I did some clean up of some tire marks on the pavement in PSE7 and did tweat the color just a little, but the sky is pretty much as it was that day.
