Let it blow

Another shot from the "driver's seat" on my way across Wyoming last month.

This will be the last winter road shot for a while in this series and I have also included this image in my recent YouTube video titled "A Trucker's View of America".

Thanks to all who have commented on these road images over the past several months and I apologize for any errors at the end of this video regarding credits. This was my first attempt using the movie maker software and it seems after saving the video's format you can't make changes without starting all over. :(

It also appears all of my credits/friends who have longer than 17 characters in their names will be truncated not to mention a less than smooth transitional scroll... but it was fun to play with and you know who I am referring to. : - )

Hope everyone is beginning to get a little relief of Spring fever and has a pleasant and safe week ahead.

love the images from the road! I have a series of shots at 65 mph because I rarely get to pullover :)

When I drove a delivery truck for a living I got a few of these snowy road shots, but getting a good shot of blowing snow is more difficult than it seems.

Great shot, wonderful view. The photo should have been straightened, there is about 3-5% leaning..

I've always wondered what it looked like from up there. I drive a little Subaru so my view is that of ants among giants. Great shot, I know those roads.

I guessed this was Wyoming before I read that it was. Reminded me instantly of returning from Yellowstone years ago with three little kids in blustery, snowy conditions. Everything froze on the car and we barely made it to Denver (15 hrs). Thanks for the memories.

This is a good photo. We're just over a nasty winter up here in Canada. Funny thing is I like snow and got so many snow shots I just refuse to look at them. To a trucker snow must be a bugger. One time I was driving an old straight truck through an snowstorm of giant flakes and when I got home my eyes were like a racoon's in the headlights at night. Anyway that's a good shot!
