Returning from the Bristlecone National Forest on US 395 the road started looking long cold and just wet enough to be dangerous. Shot was taken with the camera laying on the speedometer hump and timed to miss the wiper sweep, finally got a good one cropped to landscape with PSE to get this. Pentax K2000.

Thanks for looking jederick.

Before I retired, Ridgecrest to Bishop or Mammoth 3 or 4 times a month. The scenery never changed much..... Cliff
