Cruising into Grand Junction Colorado, on Interstate 70. Stuck my head out the window and pointed east! Some may say it's a boring part of the country, but I love the blue skies, low humidity, cloud patterns, and the desert-like terrain.
F8, 1/125 sec, ISO 100, 10mm focal length (Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens)

Ken, amazing clarity and color and love the perspective; you do well with your drive by shootings! :) #4617758Glenn E. Urquhart August 08, 2007
LOL!!! I did a similar shot last year, from the car, driving and my wife almost divorced and killed me!!! Brilliant color, Magnificent lighting and contrast... Beautiful Landscape, Ken!!! Well Done! Cheers, Glenn. #4617763Linda D. Lester August 08, 2007
It does look like your on the passenger side so at least you where being smart about driving...but it is beautiful...don't know who said this is boring. #4617859Jenny D August 08, 2007
Beautiful shot! #4617991Jeff Robinson August 08, 2007
What a great capture Ken!! Love this one! Jeff #4618018Nikki McDonald August 08, 2007
Beautiful desert shot, Ken, and I love the dof. You're right--this rugged terrain has a beauty all its own. And you can't beat those skies :) #4618092Claudia Kuhn August 08, 2007
Cool comp, leading lines and textures Ken. Hope you weren't the one driving! #4618141Tarun Bose August 08, 2007
Mind blowing capture from a running car. Excellent colours and details. Great shot Ken. Looks a winner to me. #4618178Murry Grigsby August 08, 2007
I'm amazed how good this is for an out the window shot Ken! I figure 10mm times 75 mph is the equivalent of about a gazillion ways to mess up a shot :0) I really like your composition, the feel of speed but the calm of the western Colorado scenery. I think Colorado has the bluest skies in the lower 48? Well done!! #4618427Dominick M. Dimacale August 08, 2007
This is a beautiful image you captured Ken...Dominick #4618639Dennis Flanagan August 08, 2007
I was the driver for this shot. Ken knew that I was missing not travelling with my dog, so to make me feel better he would ride around with his head out the window. That's what friends are for! No easy task, it was over 100 that day. #4618722Denise M. Snyder August 08, 2007
WHOA!!!!!! This is GORGEOUS Ken!!! I love it - hope to see it again!!!!!! #4618761Randy A. Myers August 08, 2007
Love the shot and love the area. It's definitely not boring. The Colorado National Monument is worth the trip by itself. #4618928Beverly A. Wright August 08, 2007
I agree with you Ken, the first thing I noticed was the sky! It is beautiful!!Shawn Jennings August 08, 2007
LOL at Dennis. This is beautiful country indeed and super capture to show it. #4619360Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna August 08, 2007

LOL, I don't know if I would be brave enough to stick my camera outside the window of a car going 75mph! 8-O Though, judging by this shot it was well worth the risk...excellent work!!! #4648770Sharon Day August 14, 2007
