The back roads

Nice. There is a felling of impending doom, probably because of the storm clouds.

'Really like it, awty. Sky is good, but landscape & road are too. The dust trail does give the moody/urgent feel of one trying to outrun a storm.

@Kevin Caulfield There was some impending doom. The car was coming straight for at a rate of knots, framed and fired. An auto camera has its benefits.

@HiHoSilver Thanks Mr Silver. I did a bit of dodge and burn to make a little more drama. Just hopped out of the car to take a photo of the tree and saw the car coming around the bend, thinking thats even better.

I like it - it reminds me of home - I grew up driving on dusty, pot-holed, washboard, no-shoulder gravel roads (much worse than this one), but the dust is something they all have in common!

@mooseontheloose Oh there are plenty of bumpy roads here, this was more well kept, hence he were doing around 100km/h.
@pentaxpete Thanks Pete, I like pictorial, something I want to get more into.
@pentaxuser Thanks mate.
@cliveh ha yeah, lots of movies here are set in and around dirt roads.

@cliveh Yes, exactly. Dark sky collaborates with tree, speeding truck and dust to create back-road drama.

I rarely think about skys when photographing because ours (New Mexico) is so clear and sun-blasted most of the year.
